Analysis and Control for the Mode Transition of Tandem-Wing Aircraft with Variable Sweep

Morphing aircraft can alter their aerodynamic configuration to obtain multitask adaptability and improve flight performance. In this paper, we apply the variable sweep concept on a tandem-wing micro aerial vehicle (MAV) for multitask adaptability, the two canards of which can undergo backward sweep...
