The design of a controller based on classical methods to control flight formation of multi-UAV quadrotors is presented. A leader-follower methodology is implemented where the leader has some predefined trajectory and a follower is controlled in order to track the leader keeping a constant displacement in its reference frame. The formation control solution is done in two steps: first, by considering only the motion at constant height, and second, a three-dimensional motion was considered. In both cases, the nonlinear control laws are derived based on Lyapunov stability and the backstepping method.
