Methods and Systems for Deep Stall Control of Uncrewed Aerial Vehicles

A method for controlling a descent of an uncrewed aerial vehicle (UAV) during a control tier failure comprising:

• detecting, by a computing device, the control tier failure at the UAV,
• wherein the UAV includes a fuselage, a pair of wings extending outwardly from the fuselage, and a pair of stabilizers arranged in a V-shape configuration, and
• wherein each stabilizer has a control surface that is adjustable relative to a fixed portion of the stabilizer;
• and
• based on detecting the control tier failure at the UAV, adjusting the control surface of each stabilizer from a first angle to a second angle relative to the fixed portion of the stabilizer.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium may have stored thereon instructions that, when executed by a computing device, cause the computing device to perform operations comprises:

• detecting a control tier failure at an uncrewed aerial vehicle (UAV),
• wherein the UAV includes a fuselage, a pair of wings extending outwardly from the fuselage, and a pair of stabilizers arranged in a V-shape configuration, and
• wherein each stabilizer has a control surface that is adjustable relative to a fixed portion of the stabilizer;
• and
• based on detecting the control tier failure at the UAV, adjusting the control surface of each stabilizer from a first angle to a second angle relative to the fixed portion of the stabilizer.
