Popis: Large-slenderness-ratio (LSR) aircraft exhibit more severe lateral–directional coupling compared with other aircraft, which poses a significant challenge to their flight safety, especially during high-speed maneuvers. Reliable attitude decoupling control is, therefore, essential for LSR aircraft. In this study, a novel control framework that combines incremental nonlinear dynamic inversion (INDI) and extended state observer (ESO) is proposed for supersonic roll maneuver control of LSR aircraft. The ESO is used to estimate the angular acceleration on the basis of an onboard mathematical model. The acceleration estimator based on ESO achieves superior noise reduction compared with the complementary filter (CF) and reduces the onboard model requirement without significantly sacrificing estimation accuracy. Monte Carlo (MC) simulations and frequency–domain analysis demonstrate the effectiveness and robustness of the proposed controller. The sensitivity of parameter uncertainties is also investigated, revealing that the natural frequency of the actuator is the most critical parameter affecting robustness. Finally, flight tests validate the effectiveness of the proposed control structure.
