| description | Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) have garnered more attention across various industries in recent years, leading to significant development in their design and application globally. Due to the high coupling between UAV states, model uncertainties, and various disturbances, precise longitudinal control of UAVs remains a significant research challenge. Oriented for the speed and altitude control of an electrical-powered fixed-wing UAV, this paper introduces a new control strategy based on the fuzzy guaranteed cost control (F-GCC) technique, which results in a nonlinear longitudinal state feedback control law with strict stability criterion, effectively addressing the issue of state coupling. Moreover, the strategy also includes a thrust estimation model of the electrical propulsion system to significantly reduce the nonlinearity, simplifying the controller design while effectively preserving tracking control performance. Through numerical validation, the UAV longitudinal nonlinear controller designed using the F-GCC technique offers better transient response and stronger robustness than the traditional linear and ADRC controllers. |
