Consensus-based feedback linearization method is proposed to maintain time-varying configuration for formation of multiple UAV. Control strategy requires only the local information between vehicles, defined by Graph. For the dynamic geometry, each controller can be realized by UAV detection logic so that formation is guaranteed to keep in shape steadily.
