Electric Vertical Takeoff and Landing (eVTOL) aircraft has gained significant attention as a
basic element of urban air mobility (UAM), a potential solution for urban transportation …

Micro air vehicles with transitioning flight capabilities, or simply hybrid micro air vehicles,
combine the beneficial features of fixed-wing configurations, in terms of endurance, with …

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 …

This paper designs an incremental nonlinear dynamic inversion control law for free-flying
flexible aircraft, which can regulate rigid-body motions, alleviate gust loads, reduce the wing …

Abstract Many Unmanned Air Vehicle (UAV) applications require vertical take-off and
landing and very long-range capabilities. Fixed-wing aircraft need long runways to land, and …

The main task of this work is to design a control system for a small tail-sitter Unmanned
Aerial Vehicle (UAV) during the transition process. Although reasonable control …

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 …

This letter presents the modeling, system identification and nonlinear model predictive
control (NMPC) design for longitudinal, full envelope velocity control of a small tiltwing …

This article presents a novel model-free control (MFC)-based controller for achieving
accurate trajectory tracking control of a tail-sitter unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) in hovering …

This paper introduces and investigates several methods of filtering and delay
synchronization in incremental control law structures. It is shown that proper filter and delay …
