TThis research focuses mainly on the aerodynamic modelling and performance analysis of a model predictive controller for a hybrid fixed-wing vertical takeoff and landing of unmanned aerial vehicle. The aerodynamics, which comprises several aerodynamic characteristics including the lift, drag, and thrust coefficients, is modelled using Newton's second law of motion. The force and moment equations were obtained, and they were then converted into matrix and state equation form, together with the transformation matrices. The essential equations with six degrees of freedom (6 DoF) and 12 state matrices including the control input and manipulating variables were obtained. The proposed model predictive controller (MPC) was designed using the optimal model predictive controller design parameters, such as a sampling time of 0.1, a prediction horizon of 15, a control horizon of 3 and additional controller settings. With a settling period of 3 seconds, an overshoot of 0.5865, and a steady state inaccuracy of 0.00785, the MATLAB simulation demonstrates that the system variables, including roll, pitch, and yaw, are stabilized. This MPC control is more effective in anticipating and optimizing the UAV than other control strategies. Eventually, the controller's simulation on MATLAB Simulink demonstrates the controller's ability to stabilize and control the system in a real-time application. Autonomous vertical takeoff and landing operations depend heavily on the mathematical model and architecture of the flight controller. Among the uses are inspection, monitoring, and rescue.
