A global stabilization algorithm is presented for the PVTOL (Planar Vertical Takeoff and Landing) aircraft with bounded inputs. First the altitude of the aircraft is stabilized and then the horizontal position and the roll angle are considered. The control strategy is based on the use of nonlinear combinations of linear saturation functions bounding the thrust input and the rolling moment to arbitrary saturation limits. A global convergence of the state to the origin is provided. The methodology presented is similar to previous works already proposed for such a system. The interest of this alternative control strategy relies on the fact that the altitude of the aircraft is first stabilized, which is more reliable for implementations on real experiments.
