This article deals with the stationary flight control problem of an Unmanned Aircraft Vehicle
(UAV) flying in a wind field. The main objective is to develop a robust control law to stabilize …

An enhanced gain-scheduling control strategy was presented to establish a smooth
adaptation mechanism for the longitudinal motion of B747 between different flight …

This article presents the results from the first flight campaign undertaken within the frame of a
collaborative EU-Japan project aimed towards the technological maturation of advanced …

This paper presents a new procedure for the integrated plant and flight control system
design in the presence of parametric uncertainties. The proposed approach is based on a …

In this paper, a control allocation (CA) algorithm for the fault-tolerant control (FTC) system of
a multirotor unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) is presented. The proposed CA design is based …

This paper deals with active fault-tolerant control (FTC) of a quadrotor in the presence of
actuator faults. In previous studies, authors generally assume that the fault has been …

Designing a controller for the full nonlinear model of an aircraft remains a challenging task.
The main purpose of this work is to present a new linearization-based gain-scheduled …

This article presents the design of an atmospheric control system for the VEGA launcher
using Linear Parameter-Varying (LPV) synthesis techniques, both non-rate and rate …

This paper proposes a systematic approach for optimizing the distribution of local models in
multi-model control systems (MMCS) to enhance overall robustness. While existing literature …

IN SPITE of recent advances in control system theory, gain-scheduling techniques remain a
viable approach for the control of a great variety of nonlinear systems [1, 2] and are widely …
