Abstract
The paper presents the design of PID controller for longitudinal dynamics of small UAV. It also provides the state matrices by using physical parameters: aerodynamic coefficients and stability derivatives. PID controller provides the stability to UAV and transient specifications. The focus of this paper is on modelling and control design for a UAV system. The novel approach suggested in this paper is to use PID controller. PID controller is only used to provide the required transient response (Stevens and Lewis in Aircraft control and simulation. Wiley, Hoboken, [1]).
