Preliminary design of sliding mode controller for angular positional tracking of an aircraft

Sliding mode controllers are known to be robust to parameter changes and capable of rejecting disturbances. Most sliding mode controllers were implemented on aircraft models that were derived based on the aircraft's body axes. The aircraft model in this paper are derived from an energy based...

description Sliding mode controllers are known to be robust to parameter changes and capable of rejecting disturbances.
