Masters Thesis: Flight Control Law Development and Testing for a Tilt-Wing eVTOL UAV

What to expect

At the Institute of Flight Systems, we develop new flight control methods for unconventional aircraft configurations. A focus area of our research is transformational aircraft, which are characterized by a large flight envelope, a high degree of overactuation, and a complex transition maneuver between hover and cruise flight states. While historical aircraft concepts suffered especially from poor flight and handling qualities, today’s level of automation and control augmentation allows for a seamless control and simplified vehicle operations, as well as easy integrati...
