Abstract
A global stabilizing control design is proposed for the planar vertical takeoff and landing (PVTOL) aircraft. The methodology is based on the use of nonlinear combinations of saturation functions bounding the thrust input to arbitrary saturation limits. The algorithm is simple and provides global convergence of the state to the origin.
