Abstract

Fixed-wing unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are a primary focus of current UAV research. Challenges arise in their flight due to high speed and complex maneuverability. This paper explores the coordinated turn guidance law for fixed-wing UAVs and validates an experimental leader-follower formation platform in flight. Results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm and platform in enabling actual leader-follower formation flights for fixed-wing UAVs.
