It is also striving to give an open platform for the study of rotorcraft dynamics and associated issues. Dr. Jamshed Riaz is a Ph.D.

Flight Dynamics & Control Center (FlyCon) at Institute of Space Technology, Islamabad, is being developed to support academic research activities related to flight dynamics and control. It has already contributed to the assessment of designs of UAVs and has assisted in flight dynamics matters related to crash investigations of aircraft and helicopters. in Aerospace Engineering from Georgia Institu

Title: Nonlinear Control of Multicopters

By: Hafiz Zeeshan Iqbal Khan

Supervised by: Dr. Jamshed Riaz

• A unified control strategy was developed for a generalized class of Multicopters, which ensures trajectory tracking in the presence of bounded uncertainties in system parameters.

• A notion of reduced controllability for the case of uncontrollable rotor failures was introduced.

• A reconfigurable control scheme to compensate controllable rotor failures, and even recover some uncontrollable failures, was proposed
