This paper proposes a novel control law for accurate tracking of agile trajectories using a
tailsitter flying wing unmanned aerial vehicle that transitions between vertical takeoff and …

We address the theoretical and practical problems related to the trajectory generation and
tracking control of tail-sitter UAVs. Theoretically, we focus on the differential flatness property …

With the increasing popularity of vertical take-off and landing unmanned aerial vehicles
(VTOL UAVs), a new problem arises: pilot training. Most conventional pilot training …
