In this paper, the distributed adaptive fault estimation issue using practical fixed-time design is investigated for attitude synchronization control systems. A distributed fault estimation observer is proposed based on the fixed-time technique. Meanwhile, a novel fixed-time adaptive fault estimation algorithm is also constructed to guarantee convergence rate and improve estimation rapidity. The fault estimation error is uniformly ultimately bounded and is practically fixed-time stable, which converges to the neighborhood of the origin in a fixed time. Finally, simulation results of an attitude synchronization control system are presented to verify the effectiveness of proposed techniques. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
