Summary

This paper presents an effective methodology for the simplified representation of the kinematicsand the horizontal flight control of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs). A real UAV has been used as a modelin this project. The flight behavior of the UAV has been modeled in terms of simple analytic relationships,which proved very helpful in representing UAV’s actual horizontal motion. A fuzzy controller for theautonomous navigation of UAVs on the horizontal plane, has been developed. The controller inputs are theheading error of the aircraft and its current roll angle, whereas the output is the change command of the rollangle. Despite its simple design, the controller achieved the desired performance as evidenced from varioussimulated test flights.
