This paper presents a novel control algorithm to regulate the aerodynamic thrust produced by fixed-pitch rotors commonly used on small-scale electrically powered multirotor aerial vehicles. The proposed controller significantly improves the disturbance rejection and gust tolerance of rotor thrust control compared to state-of-the-art RPM (revolutions per minute) rotor control schemes. The thrust modeling approach taken is based on a model of aerodynamic power generated by a fixed-pitch rotor and computed in real time on the embedded electronic speed controllers using measurements of electrical power and rotor angular velocity. Static and dynamic flight tests were carried out in downdrafts and updrafts of varying strengths to quantify the resulting improvement in maintaining a desired thrust setpoint. The performance of the proposed approach in flight conditions is demonstrated by a path tracking experiment, where a quadrotor was flown through an artificial wind gust and the trajectory tracking error was measured. The proposed approach for thrust control demonstrably reduced the tracking error compared to classical RPM rotor control.
