A multi-loop guidance, navigation and control algorithm is designed, for a fixed wing aircraft to follow waypoints on a map in six degrees of freedom (6-DOF), autonomously. This example will focus on descent, approach and landing at a specified latitude, longitude and altitude. You will then be able to visualize the simulation in FlightGear.

Use Python, C++, CMake, Eigen library for matrix operations, and logging tools (plog). Leverage AI capabilities such as CoPilot to build your application from scratch, without relying on Matlab and Simulink or any other built in toolboxes.
