A control method of a tail seat type unmanned aerial vehicle

This application discloses a control method for a tail-mounted unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). The method acquires the current pitch angle of the UAV in real time. When the absolute value of the pitch angle exceeds a preset threshold, it enters a large pitch angle control mode. In this mode, on the one hand, coordinated turn control is executed: the lateral translation control channel is closed, while the roll control channel remains open. The desired roll angle is acquired, and a coordinated yaw rate command is calculated based on the desired roll angle, desired pitch angle, and current airspeed to enable the UAV to achieve a coordinated turn flight state and reduce sideslip. On the other hand, coupled pitch altitude control is executed: based on the altitude control input and the current pitch angle, the X-axis vector of the UAV is projected onto a horizontal plane and rotated around the Y-axis by a pitch compensation angle to construct a virtual horizontal plane. The attitude control loop makes the UAV's attitude follow the changes in the virtual horizontal plane, indirectly achieving altitude adjustment by changing the thrust direction, thus compensating for the impact of thrust direction changes on vertical control capability at large pitch angles.
