This thesis presents an adaptive model reference controller for a highly
maneuverable high performance aircraft, in particular, a modified F18. An adaptive
controller is developed to maneuver an aircraft at a high angle of attack. Thus, the
aircraft is required to fly over a highly nonlinear flight regime. The adaptive...
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...
