The purpose of this paper is to establish a transition strategy for tilt-rotor vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) based on an optimal design method. Firstly, The flyable transition corridor was calculated based on both the UAV’s dynamic equations and its aerodynamic and dynamic characteristics. The dynamic equations of the UAV were organized into state equation forms. The initial and final value constraints of the control and state variables in the transition process were recorded, as were the constraints of the transition process. The transition strategy design problem was transformed into an optimal control problem with constraints, while the Gauss pseudospectral method (GPM) was employed to transform and solve the problem. In addition, performance indicators were designed based on the transition quality requirements for transition time, attitude stability, and control continuity. Sensitivity was analyzed according to different index terms with different dimensions and effects. Finally, the rationality of the transition strategy designed in this paper was verified according to different simulation scenarios.
