Summary
The purpose of our project is to implement autopilot program for Unmanned Aeiral Vehicle (UAV) in computer environment. Different from standard procedures, in our program, additional to latitude, longitude and altitude, waypoints that are defined by the user will be selected by minimum fuel consumption and minimum time and the optimum path will be estimated according to these parameters. This path is estimated by using a path estimation algorithm that uses linearized model of our mathematical model that is specifically designed for Cessna. Then, the estimated path is shown on map that shows Turkey and its neighbors and is integrated into GUI. If the user approves this path, control program that is implemented by using MATLAB provides chase of path by transferring data with FlightGear flight simulator per 100 milliseconds. Also, during whole flight process, motion of aircraft is shown on our map in GUI by using GPS info that is provided by FlightGear. Our program successfully performs takeoff, flight and landing procedures. Additionally, during landing, by using radar model of Meteksan Defense, realistic and safe landing is provided. Also the program offers manual control of aircraft from ground in case of extraordinary situations such as exceed of maximum wind and landing screens to provide safer landing process.
