Simulating Quadrotor Dynamics in the Presence of Constant Winds

Recent publication [1] presents modified quadrotor dynamics in the presence of wind based on blade element momentum theory. It focuses on modeling the effect of wind on the blades. However, interpretation of the modified dynamics has not been presented anywhere. This paper intends to provide insights of the modified dynamics through equilibrium studies and uniform velocity linear motion. Results are obtained by simulating the dynamics presented in [1] under the said scenarios.
