contents Determining whether a nonlinear multi-input system is differentially flat remains challenging. One way to obtain computationally tractable sufficient conditions is to give complete characterizations of flat normal forms. We introduce a structurally flat triangular form for control-affine systems with at least three inputs that is based on a multi-chained form. For two specific instances of this structure, we provide complete geometric characterizations, i.e., necessary and sufficient conditions under which a control-affine system is static-feedback equivalent to the respective triangular form. These characterizations yield sufficient conditions for differential flatness and, in turn, constructive procedures for computing flat outputs.
