This article focuses on the solution to the coordinated formation problem of heterogeneous vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) in the presence of parametric uncertainties. In particular, their inertial parameters are distinct and unavailable. For the sake of the accom...
