Abstract
This paper presents a hover flight attitude controller for a tail-sitter vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) micro aerial vehicle (MAV). The MAV named Novlit-3 combines a novel non-orthogonal X shaped wing layout with a single propeller, which is capable for high efficient cruise and prop-hang hover. Considering the nonlinear unstable dynamics and disturbance sensitivity of the VTOL MAV, we apply the L1 adaptive control theory to augment the baseline dynamic inversion controller. The L1 adaptive augmentation acts on the angular dynamics, estimating and compensating the time-varying uncertainty with fast adaptation rate and appropriate time-delay margin. The flight validation is executed on the Novlit-3 VTOL MAV
