The unmanned aerial vehicle formation plays a crucial role in numerous applications, such as reconnaissance, agricultural plant protection, and electric power inspection. This paper provides a comprehensive review and analysis of the unmanned aerial vehicle swarm communication networks and formation control strategies. First, the most commonly used unmanned aerial vehicles are introduced and compared. Next, the entire process of the formation task, from the formation assignment to the formation transformation, is detailed described. At last, the widely adopted communication networks are analyzed, and the existing formation control strategies of the UAV swarm are compared, which shows that the distributed formation control is superior to the centralized method and is the future development trend.

“…A canardmain wing-shroud propeller configuration for tailsitter was proposed and nice experimental results were presented in [4], [5]. The researchers in [6] designed a quadcopter tailsitter called VertiKUL which did not rely on control surfaces. However, most of the tailsitter aircrafts in previous studies are made with propellers or duct fans, which had low thrust and less efficiency.…”

This paper presents an adaptive position tracking controller for a special kind of tailsitter vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). The distinctive part of this VTOL aircraft is its thrust-vectoring propulsion system, which allows the aircraft to achieve long-range flight at high-efficiency. However, there are two main problems encountered in the control design for this aircraft in vertical mode. One problem is that the mass and inertia tensor are unknown parameters because of the fuel consumption. The other problem is that the thrust vector is bounded both in amplitude and orientation, leading to the boundedness of control input. In this paper, we use a complementary filter to estimate the mass and an adaptive law to compensate the error caused by inertia uncertainty. A Lyapunov-based control law with nested saturation function is proposed to solve the problem of input boundedness. Finally, the global asymptotic stability is proven for the simplified model and the effectiveness is illustrated through simulation.INDEX TERMS Tailsitter UAV, vectoring thrust, position tracking control.
