Abstract

This paper presents the design a fixed-wing Vertical Take-off and Landing (VTOL) UAV with tiltrotor for the transition to forward flight. With fixed-wing VTOL aircraft can achieve longer flight time and range and able take-off/land at any terrain without runways. The design of the fixed-wing VTOL UAV will consist of four motors similar to a quadcopter after take-off to a certain altitude the front two the motors will slowly tilt to almost 90 degrees for forwarding flight. The focus is on the study of the manoeuvre flight characteristics, such as the roll, pitch, yaw and elevation control input and output of the fixed-wing VTOL UAV. MATLAB and Simulink will be used to develop a control system by using the equation of motion (EOM). This paper also gives a better understanding of how the fixed-wing VTOL UAV works, how it transits from quad mode to a wing-borne forward flight mode while utilising the tilt rotors.
