This chapter presents the modeling of a quad-rotor UAV. A general overview of the quad-rotor helicopter and its operation principle is given. Next, the quad-rotor modeling is addressed using two different approaches: Euler–Lagrange and Newton–Euler. How to derive Lagrange’s equations from Newton’s equations is also shown. Finally, the author presents also the Newton–Euler modeling for an “X-Flyer” quad-rotor configuration.
