Abstract
An adaptive tracking control scheme for the conversion mode of twin tilt-rotor aircraft is proposed under input saturation and fixed-time prescribed performance requirements. First, due to the tilting features, a longitudinal switched nonlinear model is constructed in view of aerodynamic analysis to facilitate controller design. Second, considering the input saturation, the distribution-based multi-auxiliary systems are designed to match the requirements of time-related flexible prescribed performance. Third, a novel adaptive switching controller is designed to reduce the influences caused by modeling uncertainty. Finally, an XV-15-based simulation result verifies the effectiveness of the proposed method.
