Abstract
In order to improve the capability of mission flight of tiltrotor UAV that has been developed by Korea Aerospace Research Institute, a simulation study on the formation flight of autonomous control 5 level has been performed. The formation flight is based on the centralized method with leader and follower airplanes. The formation flight controller was verified through numerical simulation with 3 followers and hardware-in-the loop simulation with 1 follower. This paper describes controller design methods, hardware-in-the-looped simulation test, and performance verification using simulation.
