N2 - This paper focuses on the problem of autonomous landing of fixed wing UAVs in difficult atmospheric conditions, like crosswind, tail wind, turbulence. Various controller architectures along with landing trajectories are proposed. The experimental UAV developed at the Middle East Technical University is used as a case study. The UAV is modeled and simulation results are presented to demonstrate and compare the effectiveness of the design architectures. Autonomous descent, flare, touch down, crab and decrab maneuvers are performed using the most suitable controller design.
