Abstract: The UAV flight control system is rich with attractive and challenging design problems to achieve robust stability and acceptable performance across specified flight envelope in the presence of uncertainties. Therefore, this paper is devoted to design an adequate flight control system for stabilizing a fixed wing (Aerosonde) UAV under exogenous inputs. This UAV is modeled and it is utilized with the loop-shaping design procedure (LSDP) to design the necessary flight control system such that the performance requirements are achieved. This work is compared with a previous one using the classical controllers in terms of performance and stability robustness including disturbance rejection, noise attenuation, unmodeled dynamics, and control effort. The obtained results clarify the ability of the designed system using H to cope with the specified levels of uncertainty including unmodeled dynamics, disturbances and measurement noise. In addition, it reveals its superior capabilities upon the classical techniques.
