What is it about?
The VTOL UAV is equipped with a lift fan and two thrust vector engines. Based on nonlinear dynamic inversion, an two-stage cascaded control allocation method is proposed to solve the redundant and coupled control problems of actuators.

Why is it important?
We put forward a control system which allocates the direct force and moments optimally and synthetically, and makes the UAV show favorable maneuverability in transition flight. This paper is useful to the control system design of VTOL UAV with thrust vector engines and redundant actuators.
