Pigeon-Inspired Transition Trajectory Optimization for Tilt-Rotor UAVs

The continuous configuration changes and velocity variations of tilt-rotor UAVs during the transition phase pose significant challenges to flight safety. Hence, the transition phase trajectory must be specially designed. The transition corridor is an effective means of characterizing the controllabl...
