Abstract
The design of a multivariable sliding mode controller for an unmanned aircraft is described and an emphasis on robust eigenstructure assignment is given. The linear and non-linear model responses are compared when subjected to the same variable structure control design. It is shown that, after sliding has commenced the response of the objective system is tracked by the corresponding nonlinear system. A measure of sensitivity is defined as the proximity of a sub-space of the actual system response from the designed objective.
