Pairwise multirotor wake-encounter response studies with identical leader-follower unmanned aerial system (UAS) were conducted for a pair of Phantom 3 sized (∼1.2 kg) multirotor UAS with PX4 attitude controller used on the follower UAS. This is accomplished in the form of one-way coupled wake field...
