Abstract

The development of hybrid UAV is carried out to gain the advantage of fixed wing and rotorcraft type in one flying vehicle, so we get more flexibility to carry out its flying missions without requiring a special area for takeoff and landing. From several types of configurations, quadplane was chosen to be the object research because of its airframe which was simple and easy to develop. Quadplane is a fixed wing type UAV which is equipped with four electric motors, so it has the ability to fly like a quadcopter. In operational flight, quadplane has three flight modes, such as: quadcopter mode, transition mode, and fixed wing mode. In this study, the discussion will focus on developing a quadcopter mode system model. The system model is built using Matlab/Simulink which consists of several control blocks and equations of motion blocks. The control strategy used in this model are Proportional (P) and Proportional-Derivative (PD) controllers. From the simulation results that have been carried out, it was obtained that the quadcopter mode system model was able to follow the given reference value with 7.3% overshoot in the X direction, 7.2% overshoot in the Y direction, and a delay of 2.5 seconds in the Z direction.
