Abstract At TU Berlin’s department of Flight Mechanic, Flight Control and Aeroelasticity the concept of a Multi-Body High Altitude Long Endurance aircraft is investigated for surveillance and communication tasks. This aircraft consists of several individual aircraft that are coupled in the mission altitude to a formation with a high aspect ratio. In a first phase, the aircraft was designed for a continuous one year mission in 20 Km height and a model to present the dynamics of the formation was set up. This paper describes the flight path control laws for a Multi-Body Aircraft. Frequency domain techniques are used for the inner-loop design, while the outer-loops are designed with classical flight control concepts. The controller is validated in a nonlinear flight simulation environment.
