    3. Dynamics of a Fixed-Wing Unmanned Aerial Vehicle
  2. State Estimation
    1. Inertial Sensors
    2. The Kalman Filter
    3. Inertial Navigation Systems
  3. Flight Controls
    1. PID Control
    2. LQR Control
    3. Linear Model Predictive Control
    4. An Autopilot Solution
  4. Motion Planning
    1. Holonomic Vehicle Boundary Value Solver
    2. Dubins Airplane model Boundary Value Solver
    3. Collision-free Navigation
