Robust control for hypersonic vehicles with multiple uncertainties and time-varying delays

For the longitudinal dynamics of hypersonic vehicles with multiple uncertainties and time varying delays, a design method of robust controllers is proposed to control the velocity and height channels of the hypersonic vehicles model. To reduce the effects of the multiple uncertainties, the controller is designed including a full state feedback controller and a robust compensator. The robust stability and tracking properties of the closed-loop system is proved in a general case. Simulation results are given to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed control method.
