Offers an overview of fault-tolerant flight control techniques, and the necessary equations for the modeling of small unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). This book is suitable for academic researchers, practicing engineers, and graduate students working in the fields of fault detection techniques and the automatic control of UAVs.


Between 2002 and 2004, Guillaum Ducard worked with the team designing the Pac-Car 2, designing hardware and control software for embedded fuel cell systems. The vehicle holds the world record for fuel economy. Since 2004, Doctor Ducard has been interested in hardware and software for unmanned aerial vehicles including fixed-wing aeroplanes, high-altitude atmospheric air ships and quadricopters. He received his Dr.Sc. degree from ETH in 2007. His current research involves the design of navigation algorithms, flight control and guidance systems for quadricopters. Guillaume Ducard is a member of the IEEE and of the AIAA.
