A Comprehensive Design and Experiment of a Biplane Quadrotor Tail-Sitter UAV

Abstract

Tail-sitter unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are promising vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) UAV suitable for multi-missions but the road to the commercialization of tail-sitter UAVs is tortuous. This paper aims to provide a systematic design methodology and present the development process for a novel biplane quadrotor tail-sitter UAV platform named TW10 to accelerate commercialization of this type of UAV. All the design choices and trade-offs in aerodynamics, structure, avionics, and the control scheme are detailed. A simulation and real flight test results are demonstrated to prove the feasibility of our design methodology. TW10 can carry a 1 kg mission load to achieve more than 2.5 h of flight time. This work serves as a meaningful reference for the promotion of tail-sitter UAVs in practical industrial applications.
