This book was released on 2022-09-29 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Design of Control Laws and State Observers for Fixed-Wing UAVs: Simulation and Experimental Approaches provides readers with modeling techniques, simulations, and results from real-time experiments using linear and nonlinear controllers and state observers. The book starts with an overview of the history of UAVs and the equations of motion applied to them. Following chapters analyze linear and nonlinear controllers, state observers, and the book concludes with a chapter discussing testbed development and experimental results, equipping readers with the knowledge they need to conduct their own stable UAV flights whether in simulation or real-time. - Presents aerodynamic models for fixed-wing UAVs that can be used to design control laws and state observers - Applies linear and nonlinear control theories and state observers to fixed-wing UAVs - Provides real-time flight and simulation test results of fixed-wing UAVs with linear and nonlinear controllers
