System design and nonlinear state-dependent Riccati equation control of an autonomous Y-4 tilt-rotor aerobot for Martian exploration

Surrey Space Centre (SSC) has been working on an autonomous fixed-wing all-electric vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) aerobot for the exploration of Mars for several years. SSC’s previous designs have incorporated separate vertical lift and horizontal pusher rotors as well as a mono tilt-rotor co...
