In the altitude loop, the backstepping strategyis applied, where the virtual control inputs about flight-path angle and attack angle are designed step by step. In order to avoid theinaccurately direct cancelation of elevator-to-lift coupling when aerodynamic parameters are uncertain, the real control inputs,that is, elevator deflection and canard deflection, are linearly converted into the equivalent control inputs which are designedindependently. The reformulation of the altitude-flight-path angle dynamics and the attack angle-pitch rate dynamics is constructedinto interconnection subsystems with input-to-state stability via small-gain theorem. For the velocity loop, the dynamic inversioncontroller is designed. The adaptive approach is used to identify the uncertain aerodynamic parameters. Simulation of the flexiblehypersonic vehicle demonstrates effectiveness of the proposed method.1. IntroductionHypersonic vehicles have a promising prospect in bothmilitary and commercial applications as its flight speed canbe more than 5 times of the speed of sound. However, sincethe model of hypersonic vehicle is nonlinear, multivariable,uncertain, and coupling [1], it is unstable and extremely sensitive to changes in flight condition and parameters. This bringsa great challenge to controller design [2]. At present, mostresearches focus on dealing with nonlinearity and uncertaintyof hypersonic vehicles. For example, linear control methodsare attempted according to linearized hypersonic vehiclemodels, such as pole placement techniques [3], LQR method[4], linear output feedback control [5], and LPV control [6].In addition, nonlinear control strategies are widely used aswell, such as feedback linearization approach [7], slidingcontrol [8, 9], and backstepping technique [10]. For uncertainty of hypersonic vehicles, besides adaptive approaches[11], robust strategies are common tools, for example, ๐synthesis, ๐ป control [12], stochastic robustness control [13],and nonlinear disturbance observer-based robust control[14]. Although these methods are proven to be effective, theydo not usually consider the coupling problems existing inhypersonic vehicles. These problems lead to more difficultiesin the flight controller design. In an air-breathing hypersonicvehicle, it is known that there are structural dynamics, flexibleeffect, elevator-to-lift coupling, and the coupling betweenthrust and pitch moment, where elevator-to-lift coupling isnot neglectable, and it will generate unstable zero dynamicsexponentially, that is, the nonminimum phase behavior inpitch rate model, if the controller is designed directly by theinversion.With regard to the elevator-to-lift coupling problem,some strategies have been tried. The basic method usuallyignores this coupling, and then the nonminimum phase canbe removed from the model during the controller design [2],where this coupling is only regarded as unmodeled dynamics.However, this manner cannot ensure the stability of thecontrol system. The other common approach is to offset theinfluence of the coupling. For example, a canard is adoptedto cancel the influence of elevator on lift, and an adaptiverobust controller based on nonlinear sequential loop-closure
2Journal of Applied Mathematicsapproach is developed [15, 16]. Nevertheless, the changes ofthe uncertain parameters are not considered. This may resultin the inaccurate cancellation, which means elevator and liftare not decoupled completely. Simultaneously, this approachhas an adverse influence on the pitch rate dynamics sinceits inputs also consist of elevator and canard. In addition,for thermal protection problem resulted from the canard,only the elevator is taken as aerodynamic control surfacein reference [17]. The system model is transformed intothe interconnection of systems in feedback and feedforwardforms to eliminate the nonminimum phase. But the robustness with regard to uncertainty of the hypersonic vehiclemodel is not addressed totally.From the analysis, we know that adding canard controlsurface is an effective and simple way to suppress the nonminimum phase behavior, even though the strict cancellationof the elevator-to-lift coupling cannot be realized actually.In this paper, the flexible air-breathing hypersonic vehiclemodel is considered. For the tracking requirement of altitudeand velocity, a nonlinear adaptive equivalent control methodbased on interconnection subsystems is proposed by incorporating canard. Firstly, in the altitude loop, the virtual controlinputs about flight-path angle and attack angle are designedstep by step according to the backstepping strategy. Secondly,the terms about the real control inputs, that is, the elevatorand canard deflection in the flight-path angle dynamicsand the pitch rate dynamics, are linearly converted into theequivalent control inputs instead of direct cancelation ofthe elevator-to-lift coupling. By designing the new inputsindependently, the altitude control loop is reformulated. Andthe adaptive technique is used to identify the uncertain aerodynamic parameters. Then the interconnection subsystemsincluding the altitude-flight-path angle dynamics and theattack angle-pitch rate dynamics are constructed. Via thesmall-gain method, the system is proven to be input-to-statestable. In the velocity loop, the adaptive dynamic inversioncontroller is designed. Simulation results show the power ofour approach.In Section 2, the air-breathing hypersonic vehicle modelis presented. The nonlinear adaptive equivalent control basedon interconnection subsystems is introduced in Section 3.Section 4 presents the simulation.

The decreasing of altitude is 1000 ftand that of velocity is 100 ft/s.For these two cases, The corresponding reference commands are generated by filtering step reference commandswith a second-order profiler with ๐ 0.1 rad/s and ๐ 0.9.The simulation results of case one are shown in Figure 2.The simulation results of case two are shown in Figure 3.From Figures 2(a), 2(b), 3(a), and 3(b), it is seen thatthe controller can provide stable and accurate tracking ofthe reference trajectories for the two cases, and the trackingerrors of altitude and velocity remain remarkably small.Figures 2(c), 2(d), 3(c), and 3(d) show that both the signalsof the flight-path angle and the attack angle can also followthe change of virtual control commands closely.For the flexible dynamics, its effect on aerodynamicmodel is neglected, and its motion is taken as externalperturbation during the control design. That means thatthe forebody turn angle ฮ๐1 and the aftbody vertex angleฮ๐2 are equal to zero in model (3) when the controller isdesigned. Simultaneously, the second-order equation aboutflexible states ๐๐ and ๐๐ฬ is not considered. From Figures 2(e)and 3(e), we can know that the flexible states can converge tostable states ultimately although the flexible dynamics is nottaken into account directly. This denotes that our controllerhas the strong robustness, and it is suitable to control theflexible hypersonic vehicle.Moreover, the variation ranges of the control inputs thatis, fuel-to-air ratio, elevator deflection, and canard deflectionare bounded according to Figures 2(f), 2(g), 2(h), 3(f), 3(g),and 3(h).In summary, the nonminimum phase behavior is suppressed successfully, and the excellent closed-loop behaviorof air-breathing hypersonic vehicle can be obtained by theproposed controller for the cases of maneuver of altitude andvelocity.

ConclusionFor the flexible air-breathing hypersonic vehicle with canardcontrol surface, the controller is designed based on thenonlinear adaptive equivalent control strategy under interconnected structure. The equivalent control inputs are introduced and designed to replace the terms about elevator andcanard in the flight-path angle dynamics and the pitchrate dynamics for eliminating the nonminimum phase. Theuncertain aerodynamic parameters are identified online bythe adaptive method. And input-to-state stability of theinterconnection subsystems is guaranteed by small-gain theorem. Similarly, the adaptive dynamic inversion approach isadopted in the velocity loop. With our approach, the stableand accurate tracking of the hypersonic vehicle model withnonminimum phase can be realized.AcknowledgmentsThis work is supported by National Natural Science Foundation of China under Grant 61074064 and Natural Science Foundation of Tianjin 12JCZDJC30300.
