A concise survey of wing morphing concepts in aeronautics is presented. These morphing concepts find limited applications in traditional aircraft because of the numerous design requirements and constraints. With the rise of UAVs, new morphing designs aiming to improve their efficiency have been exploited with greater freedom. Nevertheless, several requirements should be validated in order to guarantee structural integrity. In this communication, durability problems related to fatigue loading are mentioned, and an example of fatigue analysis of a UAV is briefly discussed.

The paper deals with questions of developing the advanced unmanned aerial vehicle landing system. The article considered the existing unmanned aerial vehicle landing systems as well as proposed the unmanned aerial vehicle polarimetric landing system, which consists of two parts: the ground-based block and the on-board block. The proposed system, potentially, can increase the accuracy and sensitivity of determination the unmanned aerial vehicles deviation from the landing trajectory and its attitude. Unmanned aerial vehicle polarimetric landing system allows providing landing on non-horizontal and moving plane of landing. Also considered block diagrams of the onboard and ground polarimetric device. In article were given result of the mathematical modeling of measurement channel.

The article proposes the algorithm of “smart prompter” allowing to set maneuvers of unmanned aerial vehicles, to estimate the coordinates of current position of unmanned aerial vehicle relative to specified trajectory; and to identify the optimal moments of group maneuvers. The synthesized algorithm generates the optimal control of motion of current position mark to the predetermined position taking into account the specified quality criterion, and calculates the optimum time instant and the phase coordinate of unmanned aerial vehicle group separation.

Design of the small unmanned aerial vehicle altitude-hold autopilot for the entire flight envelope on a basis of the robust gain-scheduling control is considered. As far as flights are performed within restricted altitude range, the entries of the matrices of the state-space unmanned aerial vehicle model are assumed to be functions of the true air speed only. So the real time true air speed measurement by airborne air data system is used for gain-scheduling of the altitude control system. The gain scheduled static output feedback was applied as the simplest implementation of altitude control system for unmanned aerial vehicle. For numerical implementation of the design procedure, the mathematical model of the Aerosonde flight dynamics was used as the test-bed. The full range of true air speed for the Aerosonde flight envelope was divided by 6 sub-ranges. The static output feedback parameters for each sub-range were determined by linear matrix inequalities approach for discrete systems, which produces the suboptimal robust controller. Continuous gain-scheduling of the static output feedback gains was achieved by usage of simple Lagrange interpolation between true air speed sub-ranges. The efficiency of this approach was proved by simulation of the control processes in Simulink.

The mathematical model “operator — remote control system — unmanned aerial vehicle” under change of unmanned aerial vehicle heading on horizontal plane was proposed. The model takes into account the operator's actions during airplane control, as well as of aircraft maneuverability when it is equipped with radio control and has a flight controller with several modes of operation. The proposed model gives a possibility for deeper, qualitative and faster selection of the proper values of coefficients that are necessary for optimal and effective interaction between the human and the machine.
