            Abstract : 
In this paper we present a global stabilization of the well known PVTOL aircraft. The control strategy is obtained by using the Lyapunov approach and saturation functions. The control algorithm is arbitrarily bounded. Simulations and real-time experiments show the robustness of the controller with respect to aggressive manual disturbances.
