hello everyone,
im working on a UAV in college. anyone out there who can help me with
the mathematical model/simulation of the prototype UAV...im working in
matlab, thanx anyways!!!

Any one who gives you a worked out model will be doing you a disservice
for two reasons:

One, any such model needs to be customized not only for the UAV in
question but for the problem you're trying to solve. So anything that
someone gave you wouldn't fit.

Two, you're probably expected to do this yourself, or to work with
someone who can.

UAV = Unmanned Aerial Vehicle, or is there some other acronym I don't
know ?:-)

It's the one I know of, although I think the trend is toward "autonomous
aerial vehicle" for the really-robot ones, and UAV for the ones that
require constant attention from the ground.

Sounds like an interesting task... modeling a UAV ?:-)
