Abstract :
In this paper, a ducted fan Uninhabited Aerial Vehicle(UAV), being capable of vertical take-off and landing, is studied to understand characteristics and control of the vehicle. The ducted fan UAV is unstable and susceptible to wind due to its external structural shape. Also the ducted fan UAV must change the attitude to gain speed, so it has different characteristics with respect to velocity. To handle these problems, a fuzzy gain scheduler is introduced and the stability condition is derived. A numerical guidance simulation is performed using a waypoint guidance law.
