Abstract
A composite nonlinear feedback tracking control law based on a nominal linear controller is proposed. The design yields nonlinear feedback l aws that both increase the speed of the closed-loop system response to the command input and reduce the overshoot, while not imperilling the small signal performance achieved by the nominal linear feedback cont roller in the face of actuator amplitude saturation. A modern flight c ontrol application is used to demonstrate the effectiveness of the des ign.
