Some Aspects Regarding the Adaptive Control of a Flying Wing Micro Air Vehicle with Flexible Wing Tips

摘要

The problem of automatic development of controllers for high maneuverable flexible flying wing micro air vehicles for the situations in which the exact characteristics are not known, has a strong motivation for research because of the low cost bioinspiration emerging technologies, the integration of micro sensors, neural networks and adaptive control. The aim to obtain an enhanced agility and functionality demands that MAV should perform over an extended flight envelope, an increased range of operating conditions with dramatic variations and highly nonlinear aerodynamic phenomena.
