Autopilot Flight Testing of Unmanned Aerial Vehicle

This paper presents the Autopilot Flight Testing of Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) that we designed the control system to control the flight of an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle that has to fly for an automated mission. After the design and development of the autopilot flight control system, it is imperative to test the flight to verify that the designed control system can operate autonomous flight control for its mission purpose. Furthermore, this research presents a test of autonomous flight with a prototype autopilot flight control system that we use the Fuzzy PD + I controller [1],[2]. The results of this test flight will use a commercially available off-the-shelf remote control aircraft which an autopilot flight control system installed into the aircraft, and then perform a flight test with an expert pilot man. The flight test results after adjusting the control gain, and showed that the aircraft was able to maintain an altitude and can flyable to the desired waypoints very well.
