Development of the AMT in yawing control of flying wing UAVs

This paper focus the property and application on an innovative yawing control effector for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) named all moving wing tips (AMT). The prospective application area of AMT is flying wing and other kind of stealth fighters. In terms of performance, it has a linearly drag output through a deflection from 20° to 60°, which is friendly to control methodology, and the yawing control efficiency is at a same order of magnitude with the traditional rudder. The AMT has a good prospect of application on future UAVs.
