“…For a UAV that has no or minimal undampened angular harmonic oscillations of its body, when performing a typical flight along the route, the best, in terms of accuracy and volume of calculations, is a second-order accuracy algorithm implementing the average speed method. Its average error in calculating angles ranges from 3.6 to 43%, which is approximately equal to the errors values when using the considered algorithms (an algorithm implementing a second approximation to the average speed method, a one-step algorithm of the thirdorder of accuracy), with a three-fold smaller amount of mathematical calculations.…”
