An Adaptive Three-Dimensional Nonlinear Path following Method for a Fix-Wing Micro Aerial Vehicle

This paper describes an adaptive control approach of three-dimensional (3D) nonlinear path following for a fix-wing micro aerial vehicle (MAV) with wind disturbances in complicated terrain. We derive the control laws of course and flight path angle by the constructed Lyapunov function applying vecto...
