A comparison is carried out throughout the work, introducing at first stability\u00adaugmentation and guidance controllers for an existing reference airship, featuring traditional aerodynamic surfaces for control. Then a four-thrusters airship with no aerodynamic controls is presented, and flight controllers for this platform are designed and implemented. The performance of both airships in au\u00adtonomous flight is assessed in a realistic non-linear dynamics simulator, showing interesting tradeoffs of the two configurations in complex virtual scenarios, in still air or steady wind conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.eucass.eu\/doi\/EUCASS2023-025.pdf\">Read the full paper here<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><b>CARLO E.D.
