To address the problem of enabling a multirotor UAV formation to traverse narrow passages at high speed
while maintaining a formation configuration as close as possible to the initial one, we propose a multi-stage safe formation
transformation strategy. First, the center of the UAV formation is treated as a virtual leader. Considering the
kinematic constraints of the UAVs, a smooth, high-speed, and obstacle-avoiding trajectory for the virtual leader, along
with a safe flight corridor for the entire formation, is generated using mixed-integer linear programming. Then, based
on the safe flight corridor and the virtual leader's trajectory, a new formation configuration is computed that avoids both
external and internal collisions while preserving the initial configuration as much as possible. Subsequently, with the
obtained formation configuration and the virtual leader trajectory, the desired trajectory of each UAV is computed in a
distributed manner. A distributed algorithm that combines nonlinear optimization with cooperative time reallocation is
further proposed to optimize the UAV trajectories such that high-speed flight and formation maintenance are achieved
under kinematic constraints. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed method enables the UAV formation to
traverse narrow passages safely and at high speed while maintaining a configuration close to the initial one.
