N2 - This study deals with some essential control problems of a vertical take-off and landing aircraft. In the first part of this paper we present a simple control strategy for state-to-state control. The resulting motion planning procedure for the nonlinear under-actuated system, is in fact simple and based on the solution of a linear algebraic equation. Having established an open loop control strategy for state-tostate motion planning, effective closed-loop control schemes for stability and trajectory tracking, are presented. Finally, some simulation results which demonstrate the controllers performances, are demonstrated.
