Seeing each step was fantastic! I'm especially impressed he was willing to fly all of the intermediate steps that he knew were going to fail. It's so easy to just think through these problems and skip to what you assume is the finished solution, but actually testing the physical response of using a binary transition or not changing the forward flight gains really drives the lesson home.

Flight dynamics and controls is such a challenging problem. So many important details! Great clear walk-thru of the basics leading up to achieving stable transitions. Being able to make reasonably smooth transitions to level flight without airspeed or angle of attack sensors is pretty amazing. The ultimate test would be to fly the tail sitter through a loop, or barrel roll ... involving transitions to hover at various points in the maneuver.

As an rc pilot with 30 years experience. My brain naturally would tell me to fly this plane shaped vehicle with an airplane control layout. Using the yaw stick to control yaw as if it was pointing straight up, and roll to twist around the vertical axis. This would also make the configuration much simpler.

Reminds me of something :) I was planning to try the gradual transition sometime, but using a little simple sin/cos scaling. Seems to me that the relation to gravity magnitude is what matters, and that does not change linearly with pitch angle.

@TitanTrigger 10 ай бұрын

Maybe not gravity... It's true the gravity stays constant but I think the distinction is because regardless of pitch angle, air provides the same control authority from a control surface regardless of the direction that the plane is flying. Air gives the same resistance regardless of whether you fly up or sideways.

It's on a fixed "timer"--in reality it's just rate-limiting how much that variable can increment with each flight controller loop if that makes sense. I tune that increment size which directly corresponds to total time from 0 --> 1

I have built my own "tail sitter" I used iNAV in heading hold mode. I find the transition of roll to yaw and vice versa confusing, although given in my case, I don't need it to land in hover; given I have an advantage that my craft can do high alpha up to a hover. IMO the advantage to roll and yaw switching is in tilt rotors. Still a feat to do it all on your own code.

Primary downside of this particular design is susceptibility to wind, further complicated by reliance on motor thrust for control authority (ask me about how easy it is to control while descending at low throttle….).

I wonder what happens if you use pitch input as a transition fader, for 90 deg pitch use all hover, for 0 deg pitch use all airplane control settings, and mix proportionally for all pitches in between. Maybe you won't even need a dedicated switch, but instead, push the stick forward to transition. I mean, remove the notion of two different modes altogether and use a single control law for both, blending two different control laws based on the current pitch?

I would have taken a much different approach. I would have viewed my aircraft as only having 1 forward direction. I simply would have changed my setpoints to better fit the way I want to control it. I also would have used vectors instead of Euler angles to allow the angle controller to still function, which starts to break down due to the singularity problem of Euler angles. Tackling it this way I never have to change how the aircraft views the world, but rather just how I control the aircraft, this means that you don't need to change PIDs as yaw and roll PIDs are suddenly changed and may not function as well as was hoped.

@NicholasRehm 10 ай бұрын

Yep, all of my process arose from the desire to work with slightly more intuitive euler angles. Your method I would argue is the "correct" way to tackle the problem

@@NicholasRehm Wouldn't it be possible to just have 2 different world views, one pitched forward 90 degrees, the angle PID controller could switch between the two, then this would be the only way you have to change the world view.

@TDOBrandano 10 ай бұрын

@@NicholasRehm Your approach is however still the correct one for something like a tiltwing aircraft, where the fuselage remains level through the transition.
