Multicopter Design and Control Practice

Quan Quan received his B.S. and Ph.D. degrees from Beihang University (Beijing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics), China in 2004 and 2010, respectively. He has been an associate professor at Beihang University since 2013. He is also the director of reliable flight control group at Beihang University. His main research interests include vision-based navigation and reliable flight control. To date he has published more than 40 peer-reviewed journal papers and 20 conference papers, including IEEE Transactions on Automatic Control, Mechatronics, Neural Networks and Learning Systems, Aerospace and Electronic Systems, Reliability and AIAA Journal of Guidance, Control, and Dynamics. In 2017, he published the first introductory book on multicopters, entitled with “Introduction to Multicopter Design and Control”. In addition, he has launched a design evaluation web for small aircraft.
