Aimed at the problem that the unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) close formation cannot
maintain its desired formation shape due to the wind field disturbances, a novel distributed …

This paper presents an uncertainty and disturbance estimator (UDE)-based nonlinear robust
controller for close formation flight in light of the command filtered backstep** technique …

This paper designs a robust close-formation control system with dynamic estimation and
compensation to advance unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) close-formation flights to an …

This paper presents an aerodynamic model-based robust adaptive control algorithm for
close formation flight. The leader aircraft is assumed to be at level and straight flight which …

This paper investigates robust nonlinear control for close formation flight of multiple fixed-
wing aircraft. It aims to achieve precise position control in general flight operation under the …

This paper is a follow-up to earlier work on applying multidisciplinary numerical optimization
to develop a morphing variable span of a tapered wing (MVSTW) to reduce its weight by …

Multibody vehicle widely exists in the fields of aerospace and weapon system. There are
three main types for the multibody vehicle system. Firstly, multiple vehicles are in close …

Multirobot flocking possesses extraordinary advantages over a single-robot system in
diverse domains, but it is challenging to ensure safe and optimal performance in congested …

This paper investigates the position-tracking and attitude-tracking control problem of close
formation flight with vortex effects under simultaneous actuator and sensor faults. On the …

Formation flight has the potential to significantly reduce aircraft fuel consumption by allowing
“follower” aircraft to fly in the aerodynamic wake of “leader” aircraft. However, this …
