Abstract
Abstract: In this study, design and implementation of control system of a vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) with level flight capability is considered. The platform structure includes both multirotor and fixed-wing (FW) conventional aircraft control surfaces; therefore named as VTOL-FW. The proposed method includes implementation of multirotor and airplane controllers and design of an algorithm to switch between them in achieving transitions between VTOL and FW flight modes. Thus, VTOL-FW UAV’s flight characteristics are expected to be improved by enabling agile maneuvers, increasing survivability and exploiting full flight envelope capabilities.
