Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP2013107626
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
To provide a method and apparatus for controlling an unmanned air vehicle (UAV) that includes a plurality of independently controllable control vanes.
Control vane position commands are supplied that will move each of the control vanes to a position that will cause the UAV to implement a commanded maneuver. Inoperability of one of the control vanes is sensed, and the position of the inoperable control vane is determined. New control vane position commands are determined, based on the determined position of the inoperable control vane, which will also cause the UAV to implement the commanded maneuver.
