Modelling and Control of Mini-Flying Machines is an exposition of models developed to assist in the motion control of various types of mini-aircraft:

  • Planar Vertical Take-off and Landing aircraft;

  • helicopters;

  • quadrotor mini-rotorcraft;

  • other fixed-wing aircraft;

  • blimps.

    For each of these it propounds:

  • detailed models derived from Euler-Lagrange methods;

  • appropriate nonlinear control strategies and convergence properties;

  • real-time experimental comparisons of the performance of control algorithms;

  • review of the principal sensors, on-board electronics, real-time architecture and communications systems for mini-flying machine control, including discussion of their performance;

  • detailed explanation of the use of the Kalman filter to flying machine localization. 

    To researchers and students in nonlinear control and its applications Modelling and Control of Mini-Flying Machines provides valuable insights to the application of real-time nonlinear techniques in an always challenging area.
