An Integrated Altitude Control Design for a Tail-Sitter UAV Equipped With Turbine Engines

An accurate and robust altitude controller is critical for vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) in achieving quasi-stationary flight. Most UAV altitude control designs neglect the rotor dynamics. Therefore, they cannot be used for a tail-sitter UAV equipped with turbin...
