Trajectory Tracking Control of a PVTOL Aircraft Based on Linear Algebra Theory

In this work, a trajectory tracking control design is proposed for the planar vertical takeoff and landing (PVTOL) aircraft using linear algebra theory. The resulting control law is implemented easily since the equation to be solved is not complex. The tracking is achieved providing convergence of t...

Description
Summary:In this work, a trajectory tracking control design is proposed for the planar vertical takeoff and landing (PVTOL) aircraft using linear algebra theory. The resulting control law is implemented easily since the equation to be solved is not complex. The tracking is achieved providing convergence of the tracking errors to zero, and simulation results show the good performance of the proposed controller.
