The invention relates to the technical field of unmanned aerial
vehicle control, in particular to a transition control method of a
tailstock type unmanned aerial vehicle, which comprises the following steps of: establishing an
inertia,
airframe and
airflow coordinate
system, and constructing a longitudinal dynamic model based on the coordinate
system; calculating a velocity trajectory by adopting a polynomial and deriving, solving coefficients by combining initial and conversion completion conditions, and generating velocity, acceleration and jerk trajectories; related variables are calculated according to the
kinetic model and the speed trajectory; an expected
airspeed and a
pitch angle are tracked through an
airspeed controller and a
pitch angle controller respectively, and an accelerator control quantity and a
pitch control quantity are output; and when the conversion time exceeds a specified value, judging whether mode conversion is completed or not according to whether the actual
airspeed reaches the
cruise airspeed, and if not, continuously tracking parameters. According to the technical scheme, the speed trajectory is smooth and controllable, it is ensured that the unmanned aerial vehicle with any
takeoff weight safely completes mode conversion, and the problem that stable and reliable flight mode conversion cannot be achieved for the
tailstock type unmanned aerial vehicle with any
takeoff weight is solved.
