Abstract

In today’s world, the study and applications of Vertical Take-Off and Landing (VTOL) capable Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) have increased vastly. A wide variety of UAVs are currently being employed in both civilian and military sectors. In remote control (RC) technology, the VTOL system is also implemented in RC aircrafts and helicopters. In this paper, our focus will be on the Tilt-rotor model. The Tilt-rotor has a rotor on each side of its airframe, where it can tilt to provide both lift and forward thrust to the rotor-craft. The Tilt-rotor craft is controlled via glove controller weared by human. The glove controller drives the rotor of the aircraft model based on the hand motion, allowing the glove wearer to manipulate the VTOL system of the aircraft including pitch, yaw and row movement of the aircraft.
