hello i am a newbie and have to implement autopilot in an aircraft model for my university project. it should be able of 3-DOF (being able to control roll, pitch and yaw for right direction). any guidance about it ?

Hi @Abdullah,

You can find an example of a "three-loop autopilot" that uses a three-degree-of-freedom model at the following link to the documentation:

Additionally, the following MATLAB answer can be useful for pitch damper tuning for a 3-DOF aircraft model:
