Micro air vehicles often have limited versatility with restrictions on endurance, agility, hover
capability, and payload. A hybrid vehicle is proposed that addresses these constraints using …

The research objective is to establish a complete methodology for long endurance
unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) with vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) capability, or …

The DelftaCopter is a tilt-body tailsitter unmanned air vehicle which combines a large
swashplate controlled helicopter rotor with a biplane delta-wing. Previous research has …

This paper focuses on a convertible unmanned aerial vehicle (CUAV) whose main
characteristics is to perform hover flight for launch or recovery, and horizontal mode during …

Abstract Micro Air Vehicles (MAVs) can perform many useful tasks, such as mapping and
delivery. For these tasks either rotorcraft are used, which can hover but are not very efficient …

This paper details the design of a nonlinear controller for the Roll&Fly mode of a wheeled tilt-
body micro air vehicle (MAV), developed at ISAE-SUPAERO, called the MAVion. The …

This paper outlines current research conducted on tilt-body micro air vehicles at ISAE, and
how we exploit recent advances to provide a tail-sitting flying-wing entry for the IMAV'17 …
