The paper seeks to study the control system design of a novel unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). The UAV is capable of vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL), transition flight and cruising via the technique of direct force control. The incremental nonlinear dynamic inversion (INDI) approach is adopted for the 6-DOF nonlinear and nonaffine control of the UAV. Based on the INDI control law, a method of two-layer cascaded optimal control allocation is proposed to handle the redundant and coupled control variables. For the weight selection in optimal control allocation, a dynamic weight strategy is proposed. This strategy can adjust the weight of the objective function according to the flight states and mission requirements, thus determining the optimizing direction and ensuring the rationality of the allocation results. Simulation results indicate that the UAV can track the target trajectory accurately and exhibit continuous maneuverability in transition flight.

The time-delay robust nonlinear dynamic inversion (TDRNDI) control technique is proposed to synchronize time-delay Chen systems. The time-delay Chen circuit is simple but exhibits complex irregular (chaotic) behavior. For this reason, this circuit can be efficiently used to encrypt messages for secure communication. In this paper, the nonlinear control-based chaos synchronization problem is considered. The proposed TDRNDI controller is a modified version of a robust nonlinear dynamic inversion (RNDI) applicable to chaotic systems, including time-delay systems. The performance and feasibility of the proposed TDRNDI controller are demonstrated by conducting numerical simulations with application to a secure communication network.
