This paper presents the design of a neural adaptive flight control systems for the longitudinal dynamics of hypersonic vehicle. By considering the coupling between thrust and pitch moment, the proposed control strategy is derived from the solutions of a series of fast dynamical equations, which are designed by the combination of back-stepping control and time scale separation. The RBF neural networks are employed to approximate the unknown dynamics. Simulation results are included to show the effectiveness of the neural adaptive control method.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
