The development of a flight simulator provide the evaluation of the controller algorithm. Several basic maneuvers are investigated, namely the elevation and the position control.engRotorcraft flightMathematical modelPosition controlFractional controlNonlinearApplication of fractional controllers for quad rotorbook part10.1007/978-90-481-9884-9_35
