Abstract

In this article, problem of wind measurement / estimation concerning maintenance of tall slender objects is addressed. An example of this kind of object is a radio tower in Gliwice, currently the tallest wooden construction in the world. Preservation of this structure is related to monitoring it's behaviour with respect to the wind. Because it is not possible to mount measurement devices directly to the tower, as a solution to this problem concept of estimation wind speed vector with quadrotor and slung load is presented.
