In this paper, we propose a novel swashplateless-elevon actuation (SEA) for dual-rotor tail-sitter vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). In contrast to the conventional elevon actuation (CEA) which controls both pitch and yaw using elevons, the SEA adopts swash-plateless mechanisms to generate an extra moment through motor speed modulation to control pitch and uses e...
