Nonlinear-Disturbance-Observer-Based Robust Flight Control for Airbreathing Hypersonic Vehicles

The work presented here is concerned with the robust flight control problem for the longitudinal dynamics of a generic airbreathing hypersonic vehicles (AHVs) under mismatched disturbances via a nonlinear-disturbance-observer-based control (NDOBC) method. Compared with other robust flight control method for AHV, the proposed method obtains not only promising robustness and disturbance rejection performance but also the property of nominal performance recovery. The merits of the proposed method are validated by simulation studies.
