Abstract

In this paper we present a complete autonomous control system for a Kadet MKII aircraft. This control system comprises a mathematical model of the aircraft, a localization and navigation module, and a set of controller for tracking state trajectories. When coupled together we show the system controls the aircraft with a positioning error ranging from 2-3 m and an orientation error ranging between 3-4deg.
