Abstract
AbstractThis article presents the research status and development trends of Vertical Take-off and Landing hybrid Unmanned Aerial Vehicles. In this research, a special emphasis is laid on the design philosophies, analysis techniques, dynamic modeling, and control laws of hybrid VTOL UAVs. It studies and compares various design configurations of hybrid VTOL UAVs, based on key design features such as aerodynamic performance, flight stability, structural strength, propulsive power, avionics systems, flight controls, autonomy, ease of fabrication and flight transition mechanisms. The benefits and shortcomings of each design configuration are expressed in detail. A selection problem is formulated in a fuzzy environment and the Multi-Attribute Decision-Making technique is employed. Ongoing research projects in the field are discussed and a novel design of tail sitter hybrid VTOL UAV is presented by the authors. This work serves as a useful guide for the prospective explorers of this challenging field of research.
