Ma, Z. (author), Smeur, E.J.J. (author), de Croon, G.C.H.E. (author)Tailsitters have complex aerodynamics that make them hard to control throughout the entire flight envelope, especially at very high angle of attack (AoA) and reverse flow conditions. The development of controllers for these vehicles is hampered by the absence of publicly available data on forces and moments experienced in such conditions. In...journal article 2022
