  • Publication number: 20120199698
    Abstract: A gust-insensitive unmanned air vehicle (UAV) for imaging the ground, comprising a substantially neutrally stable air frame having a fuselage and at least three wings which include control surfaces. The wings are arranged in symmetrical relation about the fuselage and confer the UAV with a roll stability about a longitudinal axis of the fuselage for any roll angle. The UAV also includes a propulsion device for propelling the UAV in flight, an image sensor for imaging the ground, and a flight control system for controlling the in-flight operation of the UAV. The flight control system includes flight control sensors and is operative to render the UAV gust insensitive in response to inputs from the flight control sensors.
