... Hardware-in-the-loop MATLAB National Nature Science Foundation of China 52072309 As a type of vertical take-off and landing unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), the tail-sitter vehicle has the unique advantage of performing mode transition by directly controlling the pitch angle. This has...

.../approach The development effort involved the study of aircraft dynamics and translating the equations of motion into MATLAB code. The authors also developed several auxiliary functions, so that the tool could trim the aircraft about a steady state, linearize the dynamic equations to produce a model...

... and Hildreth, 2003). Active stick control through position-control architecture by predefined MATLAB Simulink^® look-up table to model the desired force–displacement characteristic was presented by Nam and Hong (2005) . Some type of frictional-torque observer was added to the closed-loop...
