Abstract

In this article, we presented a mode transformable VTOL aircraft composed of ducted propellers in 6 × 6 squared array to meet the requirements of flying through narrow door and window openings. We defined the basic modes of the aircraft, modeled and analyzed the dynamic characteristics of each mode. We designed a cascade PID algorithm for different modes and a power switching method for rolling on the ground, proposed a partition rotational speed allocation method, and verified them in software simulation. The simulation results of each mode indicate that the aircraft has the ability to deform through narrow holes and roll forward.
