Abstract
The paper contributes towards the development of a unified control approach for longitudinal aircraft dynamics. It states conditions that allow to adapt the control strategies developed for orientation-independent external forces to the orientation-dependent case. The control strategy presented here is a step to the automatic monitoring of the flight transitions between hovering and cruising for convertible aerial vehicles.
