Flight Controller Design Based on Sliding Mode Control for Quadcopter Waypoints Tracking

Abstract

Flight control systems are widely used in modern aircraft; they help pilot in steering their aircrafts. The wind force applied on the aircraft quadcopter body causes large drift angles. To remedy this issue, an efficient flight controller based on nonlinear controller for both high-level and low-level regulators was designed. These tow controllers were developed based on the quadcopter dynamic model. This approach is validated through simulation to show its effectiveness.
