A Roll Controlling Approach for a Simple Dual-Actuated Flapping Aerial Vehicle Model

Aerial vehicles have been investigated recently in different contexts, due to their high potential of utilization in multiple application areas. Different mechanisms can be used for aerial vehicles actuation, such as the rotating multi-blade systems (Multi-Copters) and more recently flapping wings....
