2
Beard & McLain, “Small Unmanned Aircraft,” Princeton University Press, 2012, Chapter 2: Slide 2 Reference Frames In guidance and control of aircraft, reference frames used a lot Describe relative position and orientation of objects –Aircraft relative to direction of wind –Camera relative to aircraft –Aircraft relative to inertial frame Some things most easily calculated or described in certain reference frames –Newton’s law –Aircraft attitude –Aerodynamic forces/torques –Accelerometers, rate gyros –GPS –Mission requirements Must know how to transform between different reference frames
