Abstract :
An unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) is used for reconnaissance of the ground circumstances, because it is necessary to obtain the details when a disaster is occurred. Furthermore a multi-vehicle system is needed to obtain more information on the ground. An autonomous powered paraglider (PPG) is used as an UAV that is lightweight, compact and portable. It is possible that another UAV loads a PPG and releases it in the air. However, the details of PPG´s motion characteristics have not extensively been studied yet. This study presents a dynamic model of a PPG and results of analysis of its motion characteristics.
