Characterization of the Aerodynamic Ground Effect and Its Influence in Multirotor Control

Figure 3

Ground effect for a single rotor: experimental and theoretical results of the increment in the thrust generated by a single rotor as a function of the distance to the ground plane. Black dashes lines represent the results of the PFI model. Blue error bar is the experimental result for PQUAD and orange error bar is the experimental result for AMUSE.
