Aircraft Control via Variable Cant-Angle Winglets
This paper investigates a novel method for the control of “morphing” aircraft. The concept consists of a pair of winglets with adjustable cant angle, independently actuated and mounted at the tips of a baseline flying wing. The general philosophybehind the conceptwas that for specificflight conditions such as a coordinated turn, the use of two control devices would be sufficient for adequate co...
متن کاملCommercial Aircraft Performance Improvement Using Winglets
Aerodynamic drag force breakdown of a typical transport aircraft shows that lift-induced drag can amount to as much as 40% of total drag at cruise conditions and 80-90% of the total drag in take-off configuration. One way of reducing lift-induced drag is by using wing-tip devices. By applying several types of winglets, which are already used on commercial airplanes, we study their influence on ...
متن کاملDiscrete–time Variable Structure Controller for Aircraft Elevator Control
A discrete-time variable structure controller for aircraft elevator control using the method for control of plants with finite zeros in canonical subspace is proposed in this paper. First, a discrete mathematical model of the system over canonical space, using the delta transform, is given. Then, decomposition of the canonical space to subspaces with and without control is carried out by introd...
متن کاملVariable risk control via stochastic optimization
We present new global and local policy search algorithms suitable for problems with policy-dependent cost variance (or risk), a property present in many robot control tasks. These algorithms exploit new techniques in nonparameteric heteroscedastic regression to directly model the policy-dependent distribution of cost. For local search, the learned cost model can be used as a critic for performi...
متن کاملVariable angle photoelectron spectrometer *
The design, construction, and performance of a spectrometer for measuring the angular and energy distributions of electrons photoejected by rare gas resonance light is described. Results using 584.4-A photons from a helium lamp are reported. Flexibility of instrumental design allows for the use of other light sources. A 180° hemispherical electrostatic electron energy analyzer is rotatable abou...
