This paper deals with the problem of robust regulation of a Planar Vertical Takeoff and Landing (PVTOL) aircraft affected by crosswind disturbances. The proposed approach simultaneously exploits the advantages of passivity-based control and the integral sliding mode (ISM) control technique. We demon...
