ABSTRACT: This paper focuses on the lateral characteristics and control of High-Altitude-Long-Endurance
(HALE) solar powered Unmanned Air Vehicle (UAV). The rudder and propeller differential as two kinds of
actuators are selected to achieve the yaw control. In order to minimize the consumption of energy, pseudo-
inverse control allocation method ...
