This paper considers the design and implementation of a discrete-time fast tracking controller for quadrotor vehicles subject to perturbations. The proposed controller consists of a model-based disturbance observer and a Composite Nonlinear Feedback (CNF) controller. The CNF control law introduces nonlinear damping to the system so that it possesses a fast rise time without overshoot. The least square identification method is applied to develop a model based disturbance observer, thus decoupling the problems of track following and disturbance rejection. Experimental results are provided in order to validate the proposed approach.
