This paper proposes a novel fixed-time adaptive general type-2 fuzzy logical control (FAGT2FLC) scheme for an air-breathing hypersonic vehicle (AHV) with uncertainties. Firstly, the AHV dynamic model is transformed into a strict feedback form. Then, the FAGT2FLC is designed based on the transformed model to improve robustness and guarantee fixed-time convergence of the closed-loop system. The general type-2 fuzzy logic system (GT2FLS) is utilized to approximate the model uncertainties; for the purpose of designing adaptive laws, the -plane method is employed to represent the GT2FLS. A parameter projection operator is used to solve the possible singularity problem of parameter adaption. Besides, a fixed-time differentiator is used to deal with the “explosion of terms” inherent in backstepping method. Theoretical analysis based on relevant lemmas shows that the closed-loop system will converge into a small error band in fixed time. Lastly, detailed simulations are carried out to demonstrate the effectiveness and superiority of the proposed control scheme.
