Abstract

This paper presents a nonlinear dynamic model of a powered paraglider (PPG). The PPG is composed of a canopy and a payload with a propelling unit. The canopy is connected with the payload at two points. The model has been derived as a state vector equation under the assumption that the canopy has six degrees of freedom (DOF) and the payload has two DOF of pitching and yawing motions relative to the canopy. Friction at the connecting points between the canopy and the payload is taken into account. Time responses of the PPG without thrust have been computed using the model and the results are compared with flight experiment data. Simulation of a level flight with thrust has also been conducted.
