Abstract

This paper introduces a control strategy to recover from various spin motions to level trim flight conditions, utilizing a fixed-time nonsingular terminal sliding mode approach to minimize altitude loss. Firstly, an integral terminal sliding mode surface is constructed to guarantee the tracking errors of the spin recovery system converge to the origin within a fixed time and avoid the singularity problem. Next, a fixed-time type reaching law is proposed to weaken the chattering phenomenon and guarantee terminal sliding hyperplanes converge to zero in a fixed time. Furthermore, the stability analysis indicates the fixed-time convergence stability of the spin recovery control system and provides an accurate calculation of the settling time. Finally, comparative simulations are performed to validate the effectiveness and superiority of the developed spin recovery control scheme.
