Abstract

Aiming at the lateral-directional attitude control problem of underactuated Bank-to-Turn (BTT) aircraft in the presence of mismatched disturbances, this paper presents a novel multi-preset-trajectories-based preassigned performance control (MPT-PPC) method. By introducing preset trajectories of tracking errors, the potential boundary singularity issue inherent in conventional preassigned performance control methods can be avoided. Meanwhile, dynamic surface control is adopted to eliminate the complexity explosion problem in conventional backstepping design. The proposed MPT-PPC method integrates the above two techniques and successfully extends their applications to high-order systems by employing multiple preset trajectories. Furthermore, the MPT-PPC scheme enables preassigned performance control for multiple system states rather than only the system output. Finally, simulation results are provided to verify the effectiveness of the proposed control strategy.
