dc.description.abstractThis paper presents an adaptive incremental nonlinear backstepping sliding-mode (INBSM) controller, for fault tolerant tracking control of a blended wing body (BWB) aircraft with unknown disturbances and actuator faults. The INBSM controller is based on a nonlinear dynamics model of the BWB aircraft. In addition, a radial basis function neural network disturbance observer (RBF-NNDO) is proposed to enhance the disturbance attenuation ability. A fault estimator is suggested to improve actuator fault tolerant control level. The closed-loop control system of the BWB aircraft is proved to be globally asymptotically stable using Lyapunov theory. Simulations of the combined NNDO-INBSM controller are presented and compared with both the INBSM design and an adaptive fuzzy controller. The results demonstrate an improved capability of the NNDO-INBSM control for the BWB aircraft to execute realistic attitude tracking missions, even in the presence of center of gravity movement, unknown disturbances, model uncertainties and actuator faults.en_UK
