Abstract

This paper presents novel results for UAVs having passive morphing property and guided by output variance constrained controller (i.e. OVC). Effects of forward and backward motions of wing and horizontal tail in aircraft longitudinal axis in prescribed interval on control energy of variance constrained controller satisfying straight level and constant speed flight of UAV are main interest of this conference paper. A known UAV named as ZANKA-I is used and its data is benefitted for related analyses. Firstly, dynamic modeling of fixed-wing UAVs is given and effect of passive morphing on these models is also investigated. Then, effect of passive morphing on control energy of output variance constrained controller for related UAV using 3-D Matlab graph is presented. Comparisons between control energy versus forward and backward motions of wing and horizontal tail are done.
