In this paper, we present a neural adaptive back-stepping flight controller for a ducted fan UAV whose dynamics is characterized by uncertainties and highly coupled nonlinearities. The proposed neural adaptive back-stepping controller can handle unknown nonlinearities, unmodeled dynamics and externa...
