Abstract
En 中文
An optimal transition control scheme is proposed for a lift+cruise vertical takeoff and landing fixed-wing unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). To maintain altitude during the UAV’s acceleration from hover to cruise and deceleration from cruise to hover, pitch angle-speed corridors that satisfy the dynamic transition conditions are designed. The proposed control system is composed of trajectory optimization using the transition corridor as inequality constraints and an inner loop position and attitude controller design based on the nonlinear dynamic inversion technique. Numerical simulation is performed to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed control scheme and its performance under wind disturbances. The mode-switching results highlight the importance of incorporating transition corridors into trajectory generation to ensure safe and smooth transitions.
