Abstract

In this paper, we focus on the hybrid autogyro, which is a combination of autogyro and fixed-wing aircraft. To explore the flight characteristics and improve the control quality, a dynamics model is established, in which the rotor dynamics are modeled via an explicit mathematical form of blade element theory. Due to the complex structure of the hybrid layout UAV, the aerodynamic interference between the parts is strong, and the model has strong nonlinearity and certain uncertainty. We choose back-stepping control method to design the attitude controller. The result shows that the controller can successfully control the hybrid autogyro’s roll, pitch and yaw angles. Tracking is quick and largely satisfactory, with good stability.
