Abstract
This paper deals with introduction to the design of a motorized paraglider control. This device known also as a paracopter, parafoil delivery system, or powered parachute aircraft may be considered as a special type of Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAVs). Due to several degrees of freedom, a highly nonlinear and unstable dynamics with internal couplings and strong external disturbances, its control represents a challenging problem. Thus, its education requires corresponding learning approaches. One possible controller tuning method based on relay identification is treated and applied to the propeller pendulum representing motion typical for one degree of freedom of the paracopter control.
