The aim of this paper is to provide a mathematical model for a convertible unmanned aerial vehicle that combines the capabilities of a flying wing and tricopter with tilt rotors. This article presents the mathematical model for airplane and tricopter modes as well as the way they are related during the transition phase. Also is presented a control strategy to hover flying. Finally, it is presented simulation results of tricopter mathematical model under controls developed.
