EXPERIMENTAL FLIGHT DYNAMICS AND CONTROL OF AN AGILE FIXED-WING UAV USING HYBRID ONBOARD AND OFFBOARD CONTROL

Y. Huang, Australia; K.C. Wong, Australia

A hybrid onboard–offboard control framework is developed for an agile fixed-wing UAV. Inertial-based onboard stabilization ensures robustness, while offboard motion-capture sensing improves state estimation and tracking accuracy. Wind-tunnel and flight data are combined via the output-error method to identify flight dynamics and validate precision control under sensing-limited conditions.
