Robust Control Design, with and without Perturbation, for Aircraft Attitude Control in Flat-Spin Motion
TL;DR: In this paper , a sliding-mode control technique is used to stabilize the aircraft pitch, roll and heading angle and attains the desired attitude in finite time, and the simulation results show that the designed control law succeeds in achieving levelwing flight condition by controlling the aircraft attitude.

Switching through singularities
TL;DR: In this paper, a tracking control law which switches between an approximate tracking law (Hauser et al., IEEE Trans. Automat. Control 37 (3) (1992) 392-398) close to the singularities, and an exact tracking law away from the singularity is proposed.
