Dynamic modeling, control aspects and model predictive control of a parafoil and payload system

Creator:

Slegers, Nathan J.

Abstract:

Control issues are investigated for a parafoil and payload system with left and right parafoil brakes used as the control mechanism. It is shown through dynamic modeling and simulation that parafoil and payload systems can exhibit two basic modes of lateral control, namely, roll and skid steering. Using a small...
