Conceptual sizing and performance estimation of four vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL)
configurations for a package delivery mission is presented in this Paper. The multifidelity …

This paper presents a guidance-control design methodology for the autonomous
maneuvering of tailsitter transitioning unmanned aerial systems (t-UASs) in hybrid flight …

Tailsitter transitioning unmanned aerial systems (t-UAS) are vehicles that, through rigid body
rotation, are capable of operating in both vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) and fixed-wing …

This paper introduces a methodology for an optimization-based trajectory planner for the
autonomous transition of a quadrotor biplane tailsitter (QRBP) between the flight modes of …

This paper presents a switching-free control strategy for a quadrotor biplane tailsitter
(QRBP). The control architecture consists of a trajectory planner, an outer loop position …

The versatility of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) has resulted in a large recent demand for
their development, these aircraft can be useful in a variety of fields such as package …

This paper presents a guidance and control methodology for transitioning unmanned aerial
vehicles (UAS) designed around hybrid flight, ie, flight states purely in the transition regime …

Tail-sitter unmanned aerial systems (UAS) are vehicles that are capable of operating in and
switching between the vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) and fixed-wing flight regimes …

Abstract Vertical Takeoff and Landing (VTOL) Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) possess
several beneficial attributes, including requiring minimal space to takeoff, hover, and land …
