  • Abstract
    The aim of this paper is to present the complete model of an unmanned convertible aerial vehicle in hover mode. This vehicle is capable of performing either in hover or in forward flight. A nonlinear control strategy is presented to stabilize the aircraft in hovering mode. An embedded low-cost pilot is described as well the experimental results of a hover flight using a prototype built in the laboratory
