Abstract
In this paper, the synchronized position tracking controller is incorporated in formation flight control for multiple flying wings. With this technology, the performance and effectiveness of the formation controller are improved when the virtual structure approach is utilized to maintain formation geometry. Simulations are conducted on the nonlinear model of two flying wings to verify the proposed controller.
