...Mohammad H. Sadraey Purpose The purpose of this paper is to design an integrated guidance and control design for a formation flight of four unmanned aerial vehicles to follow a moving ground target. Design/methodology/approach The guidance law is based on the line‐of‐sight. The control...

... perform controlled flight even without control surfaces at their tails. Originality/value The work included here is the first attempt to quantify the force generation characteristics for different wing kinematics. The suggested way of wing kinematics change can provide a concept for control mechanism...
