Abstract

In this paper, we investigate the dynamics of a rapidly morphing, variable wing sweep micro air vehicle. The time scales over which the morphing occurs are of the same order as those of the flight dynamics of the MAV. We investigate the time-varying poles and zeros of this MAV for different morphing trajectories. There are several existing notions of timevarying poles and zeros of a linear time-varying system, each with its relative advantages and disadvantages. We explore the use of two of these notions in the study of the timevarying dynamics of the MAV in both the longitudinal as well as the lateral-directional axes.
