This paper considers a comparative assessment based on time response performance between a robust nonlinear control technique Universal Integral Regulator (UIR) and the modern linear technique Linear Quadratic Regulator (LQR) for the altitude and velocity tracking control of a nonlinear aircraft model. the performance of the aircraft autopilots is investigated and analyzed based on common criteria and using some wind turbulence models conclusions about robustness will be done
