Low cost fixed wing UAV for development of control laws

The project is focused on the development of both simulated and real UAV platform for testing of flight control algorithms. The aim of this paper was to develop a platform that allows initial design of controllers using non-linear and linearized model of UAV in Matlab/Simulink environment. Once the controllers are designed, tuned and verified in simulation, it can then be loaded into low cost UAV platform using automated code generation. The approach was verified on real plane in real environment.
