Abstract
In this chapter, the multiobjective optimization design procedure will be used to tune the autopilot controllers for an autonomous Kadett\(\copyright \) aircraft. For this aim, a multivariable PI controller is defined, and a many-objectives optimization instance is tackled using designer preferences. After the multicriteria decision making stage, the selected controller is implemented and evaluated in a real flight test.
