Keywords: MAV’s dynamics, domains of attraction, bifurcation diagrams, reconfigurable control law

The use of nonlinear dynamics theory for the analysis of flying vehicles motion and the assessment of aircraft control systems is well known. Here the continuation and bifurcation methods are applied to flapping-wings, Micro Air Vehicle, nonlinear control design problems, particularly to the design of a global stability augmentation system for ensuring the steady flight in a turbulent atmosphere.
