Aggressive flight of fixed-wing and quadrotor aircraft in dense indoor environments by Richter, Charles Andrew, Roy, Nicholas, Bry, Adam P., Bachrach, Abraham Galton

“…We conclude with experiments demonstrating the execution of quadrotor and fixed-wing trajectories in cluttered environments. We show results of aggressive flight at speeds of up to 8 m/s for the quadrotor and 11 m/s for the fixed-wing aircraft.…”

Robust post-stall perching with a simple fixed-wing glider using LQR-Trees by Moore, Joseph, Cory, Rick, Tedrake, Russell Louis

“…Here we ask whether an extremely simple fixed-wing glider (no propeller) with only a single actuator in the tail is capable of landing precisely on a perch from a large range of initial conditions. …”
