Abstract

This note provides a detailed stability analysis of a globalstabilizing control algorithm for a PVTOL aircraft with lateralcoupling ($\varepsilon \neq 0$) and bounded inputs. Such controlapproach was originally proposed considering $\varepsilon=0$. Theanalysis furnished here proves the robustness of the originalscheme with respect to the existence of lateral coupling. Thepresented methodology is based on the use of embedded saturationfunctions and a result of global asymptotic stabilization forcascade systems.
