Linear controllers implementation for a fixed-wing MAV

This paper deals with the experimental validation of linear controllers for a fixed-wing Miniature Air Vehicle (MAV). We are interested to realize a comparative analysis of two linear controllers, Proportional Integral Derivative (PID) and Proportional Derivative (PD), in order to know what controller has a better performance when they are used on an autonomous flight (altitude, yaw and roll). Experimental results are obtained in order to analyze the controllers and validate the performance of the fixed-wing MAV in presence of perturbations like wind gusts.
