title = "Cooperative control of multiple UAV's in close formation flight via nonlinear adaptive approach",
abstract = "Close formation control of multi-UAVs is addressed in this chapter. Nonlinear dynamic model reflecting the aerodynamic coupling effects introduced by close formation flight (such as vortex of the adjacent lead aircraft) is considered. Adaptive control algorithms for asymptotic lateral, longitudinal, and vertical separation tracking are developed. Simulation on three F16 class aircrafts performing Δ-shaped formation was conducted. Both theoretical studies and simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed control method.",
