Abstract/Description

An unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) is provided with a plural­ity of synthetic jet actuators and a nonlinear robust controller. The controller compensates for uncertainty in a mathematic model that describes the function of the synthetic jet actua­tors. Compensation is provided by the use of constant feed­forward best guess estimates that eliminate the need for more highly computationally burdensome approaches such as the use of time-varying adaptive parameter estimation algo­rithms.
