      Fuel-optimal trajectories for aeroassisted coplanar orbital transfer problem 

      Naidu, D. S.; Hibey, J. L.; Charalambous, Charalambos D. (Publ by IEEE, 1988)
      The optimal-control problem arising in coplanar orbital transfer using aeroassist technology is addressed. The maneuver involves the transfer from high earth orbit to low earth orbit with minimum fuel consumption. Simulations ...

      Longitudinal motion control of air-breathing hypersonic vehicles based on time-varying models 

      Fidan, B.; Kuipers, M.; Ioannou, Petros A.; Mirmirani, M. (2006)
      The non-standard dynamic characteristics of air-breathing hypersonic flight vehicles together with the aerodynamic effects of hypersonic flight make the flight control of such systems highly challenging. Moreover the wide ...

      Neighboring Optimal Guidance for Aeroassisted Orbital Transfer 

      Naidu, D. S.; Hibey, J. L.; Charalambous, Charalambos D. (1993)
      A neighboring optimal guidance scheme for a nonlinear dynamic system is devised with stochastic inputs and perfect measurements as applicable to fuel optimal control of an aeroassisted orbital transfer vehicle. For the ...
