This paper discusses flight control for a winged reentry vehicle based on dynamic inversion and linear feedback compensation. A control system is designed to track commands in angle of attack and air-path bank angle operating over the entire entry flight regime from Mach 25 to Mach 2 and angles of attack between 22 and 40 deg. No controller gain scheduling is required. Full 6-deg-of-freedem nonlinear simulations show that the designed control system accurately tracks attitude commands and performs large rotations around the velocity vector while subject to significant aerodynamic uncertainties.
