  • Abstract
    A state-dependent Riccati equation based controller with integral servomechanism tracking is designed to convert flight path angle commands to angle-of-attack and bank angle commands for a bank-to-turn air vehicle. This problem is challenging because the controls are highly nonlinear, appearing in the dynamics as products of sines and cosines.
