This paper describes a point-mass model of a multirotor electric vertical takeoff and landing aircraft designed to carry up to five passengers and a pilot. The model employs thrust, thrust vector angle and bank angle as controls, which are computed in part using the acceleration, heading-angle rate, and flight-path-angle rate generated by control systems in response to speed, heading angle, and flight-path angle commands. The equations of motion are integrated forward in time using the controls needed for following the desired vertical climb/descent and speed profiles, and horizontal path and cruise speed in the presence of wind to generate the flight trajectory.
