In this paper, a simple control algorithm for the PVTOL aircraft is proposed. The control strategy takes into the account input constraints and does not have any singularities. The control design is such that the acceleration satisfies arbitrary bounds. The stability analysis is proved by using very simple arguments. Satisfactory behavior is shown in simulations.
