The article at hand analyzes the longitudinal flight dynamics properties of a Blended Wing Body (BWB) UAV that is based on a medium-fidelity six degree of freedom model and designs the relevant autopilot system using an H∞ output feedback methodology. Current state-of-the-art design guidelines are defined and used in the development process. The multipoint linear model analysis at the extend of the flight envelope verifies the suitability of the design, enlightens the unique flight characteristics of a BWB UAV and identifies the control difficulties encountered on this unconventional aircraft.
