Abstract

We design a new aircraft with the ability of vertical take-off-and-landing(VTOL), like a four-rotor aircraft; and the ability of flying forward with high speed, like an aircraft with fixed-wings. The flight-mode transition from hovering to forward flight and the reverse process are achieved. A flight-mode transition control law is designed. Both the design-scheme and the proposed control law are verified by simulation.
