Nowadays, there is a growing need for flying drones with diverse capabilities for both civilian
and military applications. There is also a significant interest in the development of novel …

This article presents a comprehensive overview on the recent advances of miniature hybrid
Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs). For now, two conventional types, ie, fixed-wing UAV and …

Standard quadrotor unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) possess a limited mobility because of
their inherent underactuation, that is, availability of four independent control inputs (the four …

Mobility of a hexarotor UAV in its standard configuration is limited, since all the propeller
force vectors are parallel and they achieve only 4-DoF actuation, similar, eg, to quadrotors …

This article presents a review on the platform design, dynamic modeling and control of
hybrid Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs). For now, miniature UAVs which have …

This paper presents aerodynamic and mechanical design, prototyping and flight control
system design of a new unmanned aerial vehicle SUAVI (Sabanci University Unmanned …

The tilt rotor unmanned aerial vehicle (TRUAV) exhibits special application value due to its
unique rotor structure. However, varying dynamics and aerodynamic interference caused by …

Standard quadrotor UAVs possess a limited mobility because of their inherent
underactuation, ie, availability of 4 independent control inputs (the 4 propeller spinning …

This paper addresses the problem of designing and experimentally validating a controller for
steering a quadrotor vehicle along a trajectory, while rejecting constant force disturbances …

This paper reviews the effect of multirotor aerial vehicle designs on their abilities in terms of
tasks and system properties. We propose a general taxonomy to characterize and describe …
