Keywords: aircraft-on-ground, nonlinear control, feedback linearization, sliding mode control

The presented study aims to design a yaw rate control of the aircraft-on-ground, to ease ground handling and turn it safer. The proposed control design methodology is based on feedback linearization and uses sliding mode control to develop an additional term that improves robustness and cancels static errors.
