The deployment of unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) has gained under acceptance in the last few years as the technology has advanced and the role and capability of UAV have expanded. Mission planners have become more concerned about sending humans to areas that pose a great danger to them. The main problem about the UAV is that there is no pilot on board to control, therefore, how to further improve the reliability, how to avoid dangers by itself have always been the main research directions of UAV system. In this project, a program will be developed to control the flight of UAV. At the same time, a prototype model plane and its controlling mechanisms were developed finally.
