Problems in the motion control of aircraft are of perennial interest to the control engineer as they tend to be of complex and nonlinear nature.

Modelling and Control of Mini-Flying Machines is an exposition of models developed for various types of mini-aircraft:

• planar Vertical Take-off and Landing aircraft;
• helicopters;
• quadrotor mini-rotorcraft;
• other fixed-wing aircraft;
• blimps;

for each of which it propounds:

• detailed models derived from Euler-Lagrange methods;
• appropriate nonlinear...
