Unsteady aerodynamic modeling and control of pusher and tilt-rotor quadplane configurations (2019)
Journal Article
Govdeli, Y., Moheed Bin Muzaffar, S., Raj, R., Elhadidi, B., & Kayacan, E. (2019). Unsteady aerodynamic modeling and control of pusher and tilt-rotor quadplane configurations. Aerospace science and technology, 94, 105421. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ast.2019.105421

A nonlinear unsteady aerodynamics model is coupled with a three degree of freedom quadplane to control the forward and backward transition between hover and steady level flight. The unsteady lift and drag forces are modeled using a lumped vortex mode... Read More about Unsteady aerodynamic modeling and control of pusher and tilt-rotor quadplane configurations.

Learning Control of Tandem-Wing Tilt-Rotor UAV with Unsteady Aerodynamic Model (2019)
