Use of a rotor type UAV that can perform three-dimensional movement and hover is being actively pursued. Although a multi-rotor type UAV is important, because it is driven by electric motors its application has the limitation of a short cruising time. In this study, the composition and control system of a single rotor UAV that achieves attitude control by pivotable vertical fins are proposed. Herein, the results of the dynamical simulations and experiments using a bread board model of the proposed UAV are described.
