This chapter addresses the problem of coordinated path-following for fixed-wing unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) for a fixed altitude set-point. This problem is decomposed into two components: path following by commanding the attitude of the UAV and synchronization of their respective along-path parameters. In relation to the path following problem, two different algorithms are considered. In the first, the path is decomposed into a concatenation of straight-lines where the controller is linearization based. In the second, a non-linear curved path-following controller is considered. For the synchronization, a proportional-integral coordination control law is considered for a communication topology with integral connectivity.
