Abstract
In this paper, switching control approach for Stable Transition State Process on Hybrid Vertical Take-off and Landing UAV will be presented. The UAV configuration is a hybrid-UAV configuration which combines feature of rotary-wing UAV and fixed-wing UAV. Rotary-wing UAV configuration has advantages in easy-and-stable when take-off and landing, and also does not need special area to do take-off and landing. In the other hand, Fixed-wing UAV configuration has advantages in high maneuverability and high endurance. This hybrid UAV is designed to obtain all of this advantages. The most difficult part of control system of the VTOL UAV is designing control scenario of VTOL UAV in transition state. Therefore, there are two topics that will be discussed in this paper. First, control scenario design of the UAV in transition state which will describe the idea of switching control to achieve stable transition state. Second, the implementation details of the switching control scenario of the VTOL UAV’s control system.
