Abstract

Electric Vertical Takeoff and Landing (eVTOL) aircraft has gained significant attention as a basic element of urban air mobility (UAM), a potential solution for urban transportation challenges using low-altitude urban airspace. Ensuring the safe operation of eVTOL is crucial for UAM applications, which are related to various professional fields such as aerodynamics, control, structures, and power systems. This article systematically analyzes the characteristics of different design configurations, including multi-rotor, lift+cruise, and tilt-rotor types of eVTOL. The advantages and limitations of each type of eVTOL are analyzed. After that, the overall design problems are analyzed, and challenges of eVTOL control system design are discussed from aspects of overall control structure and subsystems, such as controller, sensors, actuators, and command generator. This article tries to fill the gap in the eVTOL design from a control perspective and provides some resolutions for the eVTOL application.

eVTOL 性能分析：从控制角度回顾

电动垂直起降（eVTOL）飞机作为城市空中交通（UAM）的一个基本要素，已经获得了极大的关注，它是利用低空城市空域应对城市交通挑战的一个潜在解决方案。确保 eVTOL 的安全运行对 UAM 应用至关重要，这涉及空气动力学、控制、结构和动力系统等多个专业领域。本文系统分析了不同设计配置的特点，包括多旋翼、升力+巡航和倾转旋翼类型的 eVTOL。分析了每种 eVTOL 的优势和局限性。然后，分析了整体设计问题，并从整体控制结构和子系统（如控制器、传感器、执行器和指令发生器）等方面讨论了 eVTOL 控制系统设计所面临的挑战。本文试图从控制角度填补 eVTOL 设计的空白，并为 eVTOL 应用提供一些解决方案。
