Control of an eVTOL using Nonlinear Dynamic Inversion

2022 UKACC 13th International Conference on Control (CONTROL), 2022
This paper presents a Nonlinear Dynamic Inversion (NDI) based flight controller using virtual controls, generalised forces and moments for the longitudinal motion control of a VTOL aircraft including transition manoeuvres. The control architecture is general for piloted, semi-automatic and fully-automated flight.
