A predefined-time fault-tolerant affine formation control law is proposed for fixed-wing UAVs with actuator faults and input constraints. By combining a variable-gain framework, predefined-time observer, and backstepping design, the proposed method ensures anti-saturation capability and fault tolerance, achieving predefined-time formation convergence as verified by simulations.
