Keywords: uav, robust control, wind disturbance, dynamic inversion

This paper attempts to design flight control system so that a small UAV can fly under disturbances such as strong wind or gust. The robustness against modeling error is also taken into account when designing the controller. The validity of the proposed method is verified through numerical simulation and experiments.
