Abstract

Flying vehicles are considered a promising solution for enhanced transportation; however, existing configurations face limitations in terms of flexibility. The introduction of deflection servos has shown to enhance maneuverability and flexibility of flying cars, but it also leads to an increase in roll angle oscillation, thereby posing challenges for control. The application of controllers designed for quadrotor UAVs to deflection-based flying vehicles is inadequate due to structural differences. To address this issue, this paper proposes a flight controller incorporating deflection angle feedback. Simulation results demonstrate a reduction of 62.6% and 57.5% in the amplitude of roll angle oscillation during hover and forward flight conditions, respectively, when compared to a flight controller lacking deflection feedback. These findings indicate that the designed controller enhances flight stability and facilitates the broader implementation of deflection-based flying vehicle.
