This paper addresses research on modern methods in automatic Flight Control
System design and evaluation, as seen from the perspective of state-of-the-art
and future utilization on Unmanned Aerial Systems. The paper introduces a Flight
Control System design process with a special emphasis on the Model-Based Design
approach. An integral part of this process is the composition of the aircrafts
mathematical model employed in the flight control laws synthesis and the
development of a simulation framework for the evaluation of the automatic Flight
Control System's stability and performance.The core of this work is aimed at
flight control laws synthesis built around the optimal control theory. The
researched flight control laws originating from the proposed design process were
integrated into an experimental digital Flight Control System.
