← TechnologyWhich consequence results when a quadcopter's motor speed commands saturate?
A)Integral windup causes instability✓
B)Aerodynamic stall reduces thrust
C)Resonance amplifies vibrations
D)Gain scheduling diminishes performance
💡 Explanation
Instability emerges because integral windup saturates the integral term's accumulation in the PID controller. Therefore, the controller yields erratic commands, rather than maintaining stable flight, due to uncommanded motor actions when constraints dominate.
