Abstract

AbstractThis paper aims to present a vertical take-off and landing unmanned aerial vehicle (VTOL UAV) configuration and numerically simulate its flight transition from hover to cruise and from cruise to hover. It can tilt the canard and wing along with two attached propellers. Additionally, two fixed front propellers are pointing upwards. Multi-body equations of motion are derived for this concept of aircraft, which are used to compute the flight transition trajectory from hover to cruise configuration. Furthermore, a transition control algorithm based on gain scheduling is described, which stabilises the aircraft while it accelerates from hover to cruise, gradually tilting the wing along with its propellers, sequentially switching between equilibrium states, as the stability cost functions thresholds are reached. The transition control algorithm of the conceptual aircraft model is numerically simulated.
