An optimized fuzzy logic has been considered to control a VTOL ducted fan UAV during the vertical flight. The control design goal is to have stable vertical flight in the presence of wind disturbance. Genetic Algorithm has
been used as the tool for optimization. The controller inputs are body components velocity and roll rate error, whereas the output are the commanded signal to the vehicle¿s control surfaces. The results of this work are illustrated by simulation, showing that the UAV is able to operate autonomously in vertical flight and maintain it stable orientation.
