This paper deals with the dynamical modeling of a tilted rotor multi-copter aerial vehicle and the design of a trajectory tracking controller using modern control techniques in order to allow the aircraft to follow a pre-defined trajectory. The control law is validated by a hardware-in-the-loop framework using a real microcontroller integrated with a numerical real time simulation..
