Linear Parameter Varying Path Following Control of a Small Fixed Wing Unmanned Aerial Vehicle

A mathematical model of a small fixed-wing aircraft was developed through application of parameter estimation techniques to simulated flight test data. Multiple controllers were devised based on this model for path following, including a self-scheduled linear parameter-varying (LPV) controller with...
