This work aims to use the modern control technique of Linear Quadratic Regulator, with minimization through the Lyapunov equation for the optimization of Proportional, Integral, and Derivative control loops in longitudinal piloting. The main achieved results are about the minimum energy cost, which proves to be a promising system for faster development of agricultural UAVs.
