This paper provides a brief overview on the recent advances of small-scale unmanned
aerial vehicles (UAVs) from the perspective of platforms, key elements, and scientific …

In conventional flight control design, the autopilot and the autothrottle systems are usually
considered separately, resulting in a complex system and inefficient integration of functions …

Setting the appropriate controllers for aircraft stability and control augmentation systems are
complicated and time consuming tasks. As in the Linear Quadratic Regulator method gains …

This paper presents a complete procedure for sensor compatibility correction of a fixed-wing
Unmanned Air Vehicle (UAV). The sensors consist of a differential air pressure transducer …

This paper presents the design and implementation of a vision-based automatic guidance
system on a fixed-wing unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). The system utilises a low-cost …

This research is about the availability of using real-time kinematic (RTK) satellite navigation
for unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) shipboard landings. Combining the use of UAVs with …

This paper presents detailed mathematical modeling, controller design, and flight test results
for the autonomous mission of a nonconventional fixed-wing biplane micro air vehicle (MAV) …

This paper presents the design procedure of a digital altitude tracking controller based on
optimal control theory. The controller governs the longitudinal dynamics of a small-scale …

This paper explores the feasibility of using the predictive control strategy to design the lateral
flight controller for a fixed-wing unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). One of the primary features …
