In this paper, Receding Horizon Control (RHC) method has been proposed to control the roll dynamics of a delta wing aircraft augmenting vortex breakdown location. This dynamics is relatively difficult to control due to the highly nonlinear dynamics involved with a variety of nonlinear behaviors such as bearing friction, saturations, zero dynamics, time delay and uncertainty in both model and parameters. On the other hand, RHC controllers have prominent capabilities such as ability to handle the saturations, flexibility for trajectory generation and designing feedback control for nonlinear systems. In this research, the authors applied RHC to such complex dynamics. Simulation results show that RHC based controller has a suitable capability for designing both the stabilizing and the tracking control for roll dynamics.
