From Control Requirements to PIL Test: Development of a Structure to Autopilot Implementation

This article presents the development of Autopilot (AP) blocks for a fixed-wing aircraft and the implementation of a Processor In the Loop (PIL) test platform. The AP entails the control, guidance, and navigation blocks. The control block design employed classical control theory considering a Piper...
