This paper presents a collaborative control strategy for landing the nose of an aircraft on a mobile target platform, addressing the issue of total landing gear malfunction during the landing phase. The strategy guides the aircraft along a desired trajectory while controlling the target platform’s speed to ensure simultaneous arrival at the designated position. The system model comprises the kinematic model of a Boeing 747 and a ground platform. A nonlinear aircraft controller, based on the sliding mode control technique, is designed for autonomous landing maneuvers. System stability is ensured using Lyapunov stability theory. The proposed controller’s effectiveness is demonstrated through numerical simulations and compared with the conventional proportional-integral controller, validating its superior performance.
