Abstract

In this study, the design of a
small unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) and the real-time application of the flight
control system and lateral state-space model were investigated. For this purpose,
an UAV production was carried out, which was assembled from different locations
at certain intervals to the wing and tail set body and moved back and forth
before the flight. An autopilot was then used which allowed the change of P, I,
D values ​​between 1 and 100. First of all, we obtained a lateral state space
model of the UAV and obtained a simulation model of Unmanned Aerial Vehicle. At
the same time, the block diagram of the autopilot system was extracted and
modeled in MATLAB / Simulink environment. Afterwards, SPSA developed a cost
function consisting of ascent, seating time and maximum overrun, and the
Unmanned Aircraft and autopilot system were redesigned simultaneously to
minimize this cost function. High performance is easily observed in simulation
responses and real flights.
