Control of wing rock motion of slender delta wings using adaptive feedback linearization

The theory of adaptive control of feedback linearizable systems is applied to designing the control of wing-mk motion of slender delta wing with the extension of the technique to include tracking. The adaptation law is designed to adjust the aerodynamic parameters in the model. Precise tracking and maximum performance can be achieved if sufficient rolling moment derivative due to lateral control components are available. Case studies and simulation are carried out to illustrate the results.
