A prescribed performance adaptive optimal control scheme for flying-wing aircraft

A model-free adaptive control scheme combining the incremental control, recursive least squares identification, approximate dynamic programming algorithm and prescribed performance control theory is proposed for a kind of flying-wing aircrafts to improve dynamic performance for issue of regulation control. In this work, prescribed performance bound function is introduced to help simplify the adaptive controller design process so as to reduce dependence on human experience when designing and choosing certain parameters, at the meantime, the boundness and convergence of state are both guaranteed. Finally, the effectiveness of the presented approach is validated by several simulations.
