Abstract: This paper is concerned with a small UAV (unmanned aerial vehicle) control algorithm development during landing. The UAV landing problem for small UAVs (less than 20 kg) remains actual despite the great amount of books, papers, and monographies devoted to this topic. In this paper, a model with V-shaped keel is under consideration. Mechanisation of such a vehicle consists of flaperons and ailerons. To describe a flight, a system of nonlinear differential equations is developed. The automatic control both for longitudinal and lateral motion as well as for thrust is designed. The stability analysis of the controlled system is conducted by plotting stability regions in the space of the feedback coefficients. The results of a numerical modeling of a flight with external disturbances are given.
