Abstract

The recent emergence of unmanned aerial vehicles asked for both well-performing auto-flight systems and fly-by-wire architectures. Towards this end, the trajectory control module of an integrated auto-flight control system is introduced in this paper, which utilizes nonlinear second-order error dynamics of the position error and uses nonlinear dynamic inversion as a control methodology. Flight test results of a flightplan mission conducted on the institute's general aviation aircraft - a DA42 augmented with experimental fly-by-wire - are presented and the controller's performance is evaluated.
