Abstract
Typical quadrotor aircraft use four differential thrust vectors to control the motion. In this study, we design a quadrotor aircraft using collective and cyclic control to improve the shortcomings of existing quadrotor aircraft. The quadrotor aircraft with cyclic control can fly at various attitudes due to the excessive control degrees of freedom. Hence the quadrotor aircraft with cyclic control is suitable as high performance aircraft. In this study, modeling and stability analysis of the quadrotor aircraft have been performed using FLIGHTLAB. LQR control systems were designed using linear models at various flight conditions and verified through nonlinear simulations using MATLAB.
