Abstract
This paper uses a composite finite time sliding model control for close formatoin flying of two aircrafts. In close formation, lead aircraft produces a vortex which is a complex function of relative coordinates of lead and wing aircraft. This vortex can be used by wing aircraft for reducing fuel consumption. Hence a tigher inner loop control and an outer loop close formation control is required for the wing aircraft. A finite time sliding mode controller is desgined such that the leader-follower geometry is maintained while lead aircraft maneuvers. Simulation results for relative separation trajectory tracking control of wing aircraft show precise control despite complex vortex function.
