“…Similarly, Li et al [12] also utilized an SMC for path following control. Guo et al [13] utilized the barrier Lyapunov function and backstepping method, and developed an adaptive path-following controller. Zheng et al [14] introduced a horizontal path following guidance law that utilized the lateral tracking error and yaw angle, enabling control of lateral tracking and the yaw angle through flap deflection.…”

Powered parafoils, known for their impressive load-bearing capacity and extended endurance, have garnered significant interest. However, the parafoil system is a highly complex nonlinear system. It primarily relies on the steering gear to change flight direction and utilizes a thrust motor for climbing. However, achieving precise trajectory tracking control presents a challenge due to the interdependence of direction and altitude control. Furthermore, underactuation and wind disturbances bring additional difficulties for trajectory tracking control. Consequently, realizing trajectory tracking control for powered parafoils holds immense significance. In this paper, we propose a trajectory tracking method based on Twin Delayed Deep Deterministic Policy Gradient (TD3) algorithm-optimized Linear Active Disturbance Rejection Control (LADRC). Our method addresses the underactuation issue by incorporating a guiding law while utilizing two LADRC methods to achieve decoupling and compensate for disturbances. Moreover, we employ the TD3 algorithm to dynamically adjust controller parameters, thus enhancing the controller performance. The simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness of our proposed method as a trajectory tracking control approach. Additionally, since the control process is not reliant on system-specific models, our method can also provide guidance for trajectory tracking control in other aircraft.

This paper investigates a challenging heading control problem for a flexible paraglider recovery system with input saturation. A fixed‐time observer‐based control approach is presented. In this approach, a fixed‐time disturbance observer is preliminarily designed to estimate the aerodynamic uncertainties and the complex coupling of the subsystems. A fixed‐time auxiliary system is then proposed to compensate for input saturation impact. With the application of the estimated and compensation values, a novel heading tracking controller is synthesized with compensated disturbance. The key feature of the scheme is that it is not only fixed time stable regardless of any initial state, but also it prevents control performance degradation due to input saturation and various disturbances. Simulation results verify the effectiveness of the proposed method.
