Design of a robust Flight Control System for a Mini-UAV

Classical PID-control is nowadays widely used for aircraft control. However, this kind of control has a major drawback, since it is unable to take into account modelling errors and signal uncertainties. Therefore, robust control has been developed. This paper focuses on the design of a robust flight control system for a mini-UAV using coupled stability derivatives. Finally, the performance of the robust control system can be compared with the performance of a classical controller in order to analyse benefits of the former method.
