Aerial platform for flight time measurements

The bachelor thesis elaborates on creating a mathematical model and realisation of a flying platform. Consequently, it compares results from the mathematical model which simulates flight duration with results which were measured with constructed flying platform. In the first part of the thesis, flying platforms are introduced and also the usability range and what types exist. Matlab was chosen as a language to create the script. In the second part, principle of the matematical model is explained, graphs which explain power influence in UAV movement are presented. There are time dependences of hovering time on different UAV weight, flight distance or outside environment temperature. In the end, there is final comparison of theoretical calculations with measured time values. According to the calculations and measurments, it is more optimal to fly with a speed of 4m/s rather than 1m/s. According to the calculations, distance of 1000m was on the limit, therefore, the measurments were conducted within the range of 600m
