Controlling the PVTOL Aircraft System with an Inverted Pendular Load by means of Nested Saturation Functions and GPI Controller

This paper presents a control scheme that allows height position regulation and stabilization for an unmanned planar vertical takeoff and landing aircraft system with an inverted pendular load. The proposed controller consists of nested saturations and a generalized proportional integral (GPI). The...
