Loop shaping controller design for fixed wing aerial vehicles using hardware in the loop platform

Unmanned aerial vehicles are being used for many civil and military application because of their maneuver and working under rough environment capabilities. For this and many more reasons researchers are interested in working on modeling unmanned aerial vehicles and designing controller for unmanned aerial vehicles. While designing an controller for UAVs, testing the subject is one of the most important task. Tests' repeatability and how close the test environment to the real working environment are effect the performance of the tests. This thesis peresents an development process of autopilot which is designed by using loop shaping method and then components of hardware in the loop test platfor, which controller tests are performed, and this system's working order.
