... is to propose a sideslip trim fault-tolerant control strategy for wing damage and aileron stuck. Design/methodology/approach The six degree of freedom model of the damaged aircraft is constructed by using the non-center-of-mass approach on the basis of aerodynamic database, which is calculated in XFlow...

... to zero and system states can be asymptotically stable both in normal and fault operations. Originality/value The fault-tolerant control strategy is introduced into preview control to deal with actuator fault, which combines feedforward control based on future previewable information and feedback...

... on the backstepping method framework within finite time. Then, considering the actuator failures, and added self-adaptive thought for fault-tolerant control within finite time, the event-triggered closed-loop system is subsequently shown to be a finite-time stable system. Furthermore, the Zeno behavior is analyzed...
