Robust composite control of telescopic wing morphing aircraft with control allocation

In this paper, the problem of anti-disturbance, anti-saturation and fixed-time control for a class of telescopic wing morphing aircraft is studied. The telescopic wing morphing aircraft treats the variable wingspan as an extra control input to construct the dynamic model of the morphing-aided maneuver. According to the model characteristics, the controller design is divided into two loops: the speed loop and the attitude loop. Through a fixed-time continuous feedback control scheme, fixed time of the tracking reference trajectory is ensured. By combining the integral sliding mode control (ISMC) method with super-twisting control (STC), the uncertainties of aerodynamic coefficients and external disturbances are overcome. In addition, the anti-saturation problem of the aircraft actuator is solved by the initial solution correction method based on Null-space augmented solutions. The simulation result shows that the designed algorithm has great tracking performance, while the robustness and anti-saturation performance are guaranteed.
