Abstract
This manuscript numerically studies longitudinal flight control of a flapping wing micro air vehicle (FWMAV). In order to consider unsteady aerodynamic effects of the flapping wing motions, the extended unsteady vortex lattice method (UVLM) that includes the leading-edge suction analogy and vortex-growth model was used. The trim search and the linearization of the equations were conducted. Based on the linearized equations, the control gain was obtained by using the LQR method to stabilize hovering and forward flight states. The simulation results shows that the proposed control methodology is effective not only at hovering but also at forward flight with various speeds. © 31st Congress of the International Council of the Aeronautical Sciences, ICAS 2018.
