UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicles) is one of the necessary technologies nowadays, especially in the aerospace industry. Besides, it is one of the ITB’s innovation research program. There are several functions of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles, such as to replace or help human duty for searching disaster victims as well as for photo and videography that hard to perform by humans. Therefore, it is essential to analyze the flying characteristics of UAVs. As a feedback controller, PID controller conveys the control output at wanted levels. PID controller maintains the output such that there is zero error between the process variable and setpoint or desired output by closed-loop operations. In this research, modeling on High-Speed MiniBe will be done in Plane Maker on X-Plane software using several theories and assumptions from various references. The model of automatic control of High-Speed MiniBe will be carried out in Simulink from MATLAB’s software, which will then be connected to XPlane as simulation software. In this thesis, the focus is only on the Longitudinal mode of motion. The result shows that High-Speed MiniBe can function quite well with the design of the autopilot control system. Overall, the results of the parameters show that it is working and following the reference/command. However, there are still some errors that need to be reduced or eliminated.
