  • An adaptive pitch axis autopilot design for an unstable nonminimum phase pitch axis model

    Creator:
    Chen, Long Ren
    Abstract:
    An adaptive pitch axis autopilot design procedure is presented. The design procedure is applicable to both stable and unstable pitch axis models and to those having nonminimum phase. The design approach assumes the adaptive autopilot is activated after achieving level flight. It is shown a rate-feedback compensator can be designed...

  • Nonlinear control of high performance aircraft

    Creator:
    Bean, Ronnie A.
    Abstract:
    This thesis presents the design of various controllers for a highly maneuverable, high performance aircraft, namely the modified F-18. The aircraft was required to perform high angle-of-attack maneuvers, for which the aircraft behaves in as a highly nonlinear system. An adaptive PID controller was used to control the aircraft through...
