A hybrid NDI control law for tandem tilt-wing aircraft is adapted for tethered hover flight tests of a sub-scale demonstrator. The control system and test setup are derived and validating in a structured test campaign. The results allow to infer control performance and robustness (disturbance rejection) for the hover flight.
