Coordinated Incremental Trajectory Tracking of a Tailsitter Drone
Evangelos Ntouros, Ewoud J. J. Smeur
This paper derives an analytical differential flatness transform for a tailsitter Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) under coordinated flight conditions using a simplified aerodynamic model. The proposed framework is formulated exclusively using rotation matrices, avoiding the ambigui…
