This paper aim is to present a comparative study between Linear Quadratic Regulator (LQR), Linear Quadratic Gaussian (LQG) and nonlinear controllers for pitch control of a fixed-wing Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV). Due to a good stability margin and strong robustness LQR has been selected. LQG was chosen because is able to overcome external disturbances. Kalman Filter controller was also introduced to the fixed-wing UAV flight control. Further, we designed an autopilot that controls the pitch angle of the fixed-wing UAV. In the end, the control laws are simulated in Matlab/Simulink. The results obtained are compared to see which method is faster, more reliable and more robust.
