Abstract :
This article considers the problem of open-loop exact tracking for the VTOL aircraft with respect to the nominal output. It is shown that if the norm of the acceleration of the reference curve is lower than k mg, where g is the gravity acceleration and km sime 0.2688, then there exists a special initial state such that the internal dynamics are bounded. The bounding term is directly proportional to the maximum norm of the acceleration of the reference trajectory
