In this paper we propose an approximate backstepping control law for the stabilisation of Six Degree of Freedom symmetric VTOL vehicles. This control law results in closed-loop dynamics with a stable cascade structure. An additional innovation is to design feedback such that the interconnection term between resulting cascaded sub-systems is minimised. The proposed control law is proven to be globally, exponentially stable, and simulation results show aggressive stabilisation and the benefits of minimising the closed-loop interconnection term.
