The control algorithm hierarchy of motion control for over-actuated mechanical systems with
a redundant set of effectors and actuators commonly includes three levels. First, a high-level …

AIR-BREATHING hypersonic vehicles are intended to be a reliable and cost-effective
technology for access to space. In the past few years, a considerable effort has been made …

This brief presents an integrated trajectory planning and attitude control framework for six-
degree-of-freedom (6-DOF) hypersonic vehicle (HV) reentry flight. The proposed framework …

This comprehensive literature survey reviews past and present planetary entry guidance
algorithms. The algorithms are categorized based on the vehicle L/D and the planetary …

Aircraft Control Allocation An authoritative work on aircraft control allocation by its pioneers
Aircraft Control Allocation addresses the problem of allocating redundant flight controls. It …

The nation's goals to replace the aging Space Shuttle fleet and pursue exploration of our
solar system and beyond will require more robust, less costly launch vehicles and …

The real-time reentry trajectory and attitude coordination control for a reusable launch
vehicle (RLV) is a very important and challenging problem. There are many aspects that …

GLOBAL strike and global persistent attack are two of the seven United States Air Force
concepts of operations [1]. Various hypersonic and reentry vehicle technologies are being …

Development of a feasible guidance scheme for reentry vehicles is a challenge because of
its significant nonlinearity and multi-constraints. A method for the implementation of three …

A new method of controlling a flapping-wing micro air vehicle by varying the velocity profiles
of the wing strokes is presented in this manuscript. An exhaustive theoretical analysis along …
