Fixed-wing Vertical Takeoff and Landing (VTOL) drones have been widely researched and applied because they combine the advantages of both rotorcraft and fixed-wing drones. However, the research on the transition mode of this type of drone has mainly focused on completing the process quickly and stably, and the application potential of this mode has not been given much attention. The objective of this paper is to routinize the transition mode of compound VTOL drones, i.e., this mode works continuously for a longer period of time as a third commonly used mode besides multi-rotor and fixed-wing modes, which is referred to as the hybrid mode. For this purpose, we perform detailed dynamics modeling of the drone in this mode and use saturated PID controllers to control the altitude, velocity, and attitude of the drone. In addition, for more stable altitude control in hybrid mode, we identify the relevant parameters for the lift of the fixed-wings and the thrust of the actuators. Simulation and experimental results show that the designed control method can effectively control the compound VTOL drone in hybrid mode. Moreover, it is proven that flight in hybrid mode can reduce the flight energy consumption to some extent.
