Nonlinear Control of Fixed-Wing UAVs with Time-Varying and Unstructured Uncertainties

This book introduces a comprehensive and mathematically rigorous controller design for families of nonlinear systems with time-varying parameters and unstructured uncertainties. Although the presented methodology is general, the specific family of systems considered is the latest, NextGen, unconventional fixed-wing unmanned aircraft with circulation control or morphing wings, or a combination of both.
The approach considers various sources of model and parameter uncertainty, while the contro...
