Abstract

In this paper, a model of PVTOL aircraft with two delayed inputs is considered.The origin of this system is globally asymptotically stabilized by state feedbacksdetermined through recent extensions of the forwarding approach to systemswith a delay in the input.In a second step, this result is extended to the case where only the variables of positionare supposed to be available by measurement. The output feedbacks are obtainedthrough a technique which extensively exploits the presence of delays in the inputs.
