Abstract :
Trajectory tracking and configuration stabilization for VTOL aircraft (vertical take off and landing) in the literature has been only considered for the case of slight or zero input coupling. In the paper, our main contribution is to address global configuration stabilization for the VTOL aircraft with a strong input coupling using a smooth static state feedback
