Abstract

This review explores the theoretical foundations and experimental dynamics of modern tiltrotor aircraft. Emphasizing feedback linearization, the study delves into the distinctive constraints and angular velocity ranges shaping tiltrotor behavior. Experimental findings highlight challenges in tracking circular trajectories, with color-coded representations illustrating the impact of angular velocity. Practical implications for applications like unmanned aerial vehicles are discussed, alongside identified challenges and avenues for future research. This work contributes to both theoretical understanding and practical considerations in the evolving field of tiltrotor control.
