This paper shows the results obtained by using MATLAB/Simulink and X-Plane as co-simulation tools for the comparison of control schemes for takeoff and landing maneuvers of a quadrotor. Two control schemes based on nested saturations are compared to ensure the convergence of θ and ϕ angles to the equilibrium point, each with its own specific characteristics in its design and tuning procedure. Furthermore, in both proposals, a Generalized Proportional Integral (GPI) control is used for the height part, while a feedforward PID control is used for the ψ angle. The control schemes are proposed from a local geodetic coordinate system East, North, Up (ENU). Feedback data for the control schemes are obtained from X-Plane via User Datagram Protocol (UDP)-based interface; they are used in MATLAB/Simulink for the calculation of the control actions; the control actions are then entered into a transformation matrix that converts the actions into rotor angular velocities, which are sent to X-Plane. Several numerical simulations are presented to demonstrate the effectiveness and robustness of the proposed schemes, considering the presence of disturbances mainly due to wind speed. Finally, different performance indices are used to evaluate the schemes based on error; in this way, the use of X-Plane as a Model-in-Loop (MIL) environment is validated, which helps to identify errors or problems of the proposed controllers before their coding and physical implementation.
