N2 - Quadplane is a hybrid aircraft which combines both quadrotor and traditional fixed-wing aircraft, and is also called fixed-wing vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). Quadplane keeps the high speed and endurance of fixed-wing UAVs, and has the ability of VTOL hovering as quadrotors. In this paper, a quadplane platform is constructed. Moreover, to improve the altitude control performance during the transition phase between two flight modes, a model-based nonlinear weight assignment principle and an active disturbance rejection control (ADRC) strategy are proposed. Finally, the effectiveness of aerodynamic modelling and controller is verified via simulations.
