Building a fault diagnosis system using MATLAB

Technological advancements have given rise to highly capable aircraft that can autonomously manage flight operations. These aircraft belong to the category known as UAVs, meaning they can fly without human pilots. UAVs offer numerous advantages, including significantly reduced operating costs compared to traditional piloted aircraft, the ability to operate in environments unsuitable for human presence, and the capacity for timely aerial surveillance, such as during natural disasters.

Initially employed primarily for military purposes, UAVs were used in dull missions involving monotonous and lengthy surveillance and reconnaissance, as well as in dirty missions that posed risks to human pilots’ safety. They also played a crucial role in dangerous missions where human lives were at risk. However, today, they are considered the future of modern aeronautics. The vast potential of UAV technology, its successes in military operations...
