Both researchers and companies have a growing interest in improving this type of vehicle given their many civilian and military applications.\u003cbr\u003e This book presents the state of the art in the area of UAV Flight Formation. The coordination and robust consensus approaches are presented in detail as well as formation flight control strategies which are validated in experimental platforms. It aims at helping students and academics alike to better understand what coordination and flight formation control can make possible.\u003cbr\u003e Several novel methods are presented:\u003cbr\u003e - controllability and observability of multi-agent systems;\u003cbr\u003e - robust consensus;\u003cbr\u003e - flight formation control;\u003cbr\u003e - stability of formations over noisy networks;\u003cbr\u003e which generate solutions of guaranteed performance for UAV Flight Formation.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eContents\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e1.
