This thesis studies some of the most relevant problems in the sense of guidance,navigation and control presented in a particular class of mini aerial vehicles (MAV) : the convertible MAV with fixed wings and tilting rotors. This aircraft is able to change its flight configuration from hover to level flight and vice-versaby means of a transition maneuver. Motivated by civilian applications, we theoretically and experimentally study Lyapunov-based control laws for dynamics presented in the convertible MAV. Results of asymptotic convergence are obtained over the complete flight envelope of the vehicle : from low-speed vertical flight through high-speed forward flight. We have divided this thesis in four main parts : the study of 1) the fixed-w...
