The flight dynamics of a modern aircraft are highly nonlinear and vary over the wide flightenvelope of the aircraft. This fact makes it difficult for a single controller to achieve the desired closedloopspecifications. This paper considers gain-scheduling successive loop control design for linear parameter-varying system in terms of linear matrix inequalities. The obtained controller guarantees an efficientunmanned aerial vehicle’s control under external disturbances within the flight envelope. The designprocedure is illustrated by a case study of unmanned aerial vehicle lateral channel controlReferences
