description In response to control issues in hypersonic vehicles under external disturbances, model uncertainties, and actuator failures, this paper proposes an adaptive fast smooth second-order sliding mode fault-tolerant control scheme. First, a system separation approach is adopted, dividing the hypersonic vehicle model into fast and slow loops for independent design. This ensures that the airflow angle tracking error and sliding mode variables converge to the vicinity of the origin within a finite time. A fixed-time disturbance observer is then designed to estimate and compensate for the effects of model uncertainties, external disturbances, and actuator failures. The controller parameters are dynamically adjusted through an adaptive term to enhance robustness. Furthermore, first-order differentiation is used to estimate differential terms, effectively avoiding the issue of complexity explosion. Finally, the convergence of the controller within a finite time is rigorously proven using the Lyapunov method, and the perturbation of aerodynamic parameters is tested using the Monte Carlo method. Simulation results under various scenarios show that compared with the terminal sliding mode method, the proposed method outperforms control accuracy and convergence speed. The root mean square errors for the angle of attack, sideslip angle, and roll angle are reduced by 65.11%, 86.71%, and 45.51%, respectively, while the standard deviation is reduced by 81.78%, 86.80%, and 45.51%, demonstrating that the proposed controller has faster convergence, higher control accuracy, and smoother output than the terminal sliding mode controller.
