STRAIGHT-LINE PATH FOLLOWING IN WINDY CONDITIONS

A straight-line following controller for a small and light airplane flying in windy conditions is proposed. In a first time, the lateral dynamics of the plane are derived and the error deviation velocity with respect to the desired trajectory is computed. A simple nonlinear control law is developed in...
