Abstract :
A helicopter offers the capability of hover, slow forward displacement, vertical take-off and landing while a conventional airplane has the performance of fast forward movement, long reach and superior endurance. The aim of this paper is to present the modelling and control of a tilt tri-rotor UAV´s configuration that combines the advantages of both rotary wing and fixed wing vehicle.
