Altitude Control of Powered Parafoil Using Fractional Sliding-Mode Backstepping Control Combined with Extended State Observer

This paper presents a method of altitude control of the powered parafoil with uncertainties and disturbances based on sliding-mode backstepping control combined with a linear extended state observer (LESO). First, the dynamics of a powered parafoil is derived in the longitudinal plane using its incl...
