N2 - <p>This repository contains MATLAB scripts to derive and validate an airspeed model for fixed-wing Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) using solely propeller power and rotational speed data. The model can be used to replace Pitot-tube-based airspeed sensors, or contribute to redundancy in airspeed estimation. It does not require knowledge of the vehicle’s dynamic model and is computationally lightweight. It leverages power and rotational speed feedback, which is readily available from modern Electronic Speed Controllers (ESCs), thereby enabling seamless integration with existing systems and off-the-shelf components.</p>
