In this paper we present a nonlinear control framework for the attitude of a hexacopter system, which is able to cope with motor degradation. Approximate model inversion transforms the plant into an equivalent linear form. A linear error controller enables tracking of a designer chosen reference model. The control framework is augmented by an L1 adaptive controller, in order to cope with uncertainties...
