This chapter overviews the technical difficulties that aerospace engineers have to face during the design of environmentally friendly aerial vehicles. It introduces the reader step by step to the mathematical models needed to predict the complex interactions that may occur between the aerodynamic, structural, flight mechanical, and control fields. The chapter provides the reader with the essential knowledge required to design high‐altitude long‐endurance (HALE) vehicles, which have gained considerable attention in recent years. It presents a unified methodology to facilitate control synthesis design starting from arbitrarily large computational models of flexible flying aircraft. The chapter explains the approach to the generation of the reduced‐order model that leads to the set of equations. The equations of the reduced‐order model are independent of the specific formulation used for the full order model, and are always expressed in a state‐space form.
