As in-flight loss of control has remained a severe threat to aviation, aeronautical research designed several approaches for upset recovery, few of which has been demonstrated in flight tests. The on-going success of micro air vehicles, however, rises the possibility of cheap and flexible flight demonstrations. In this paper, we present the concept of and first steps towards an aerial experimental platform for upset recovery: EDURA. EDURA is part of the CONVEX project to investigate,develop, and demonstrate non-linear upset recovery control laws in a fixed-wing MAV.
