This paper considers the problem of controlling linear systems subject to a
ctuator rate and position saturations, An approach based on a parameter-dep
endent Riccati equation is proposed, which guarantees global asymptotic sta
bilization under standard technical conditions, The method is used to contr
ol a numerical model of the F/A 18 fighter aircraft. Copyright (C) 1999 Joh
