This paper investigates the fixed-time tracking control problem of an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) considering the disturbance, input saturation, and actuator failure. According to the hierarchical control principle, the UAV dynamics are decomposed into a translational and rotational loop to accommodate the controller design. A novel nonsingular fixed-time backstepping controller based on switching variables is proposed to achieve fast convergence of system tracking errors within a fixed time. To overcome the effect of the disturbance and the actuator failure, two fixed-time disturbance observers are designed in two loops, respectively. By integrating the fixed-time auxiliary variables into the dynamic controllers, the problem of input saturation can be addressed. In addition, the tracking errors of the closed-loop system converge to the neighborhood of the origin in a fixed time. Finally, sufficient simulation results verify the validity of the proposed control framework for the UAV.
