Model Predictive Control of a Parafoil and Payload System
A model predictive control strategy is developed for an autonomous parafoil and payload system. Since the technique requires a linear dynamic model of the system, a reduced state linear model based on a nonlinear 6 degree-of-freedom parafoil and payload model is established and validated. In order to use the reduced state linear model for model predictive control the desired trajectory in the x...
متن کاملAspects of Control for a Parafoil and Payload System
A parafoil controlled by parafoil brake de ection offers a lightweight and space-ef cient control mechanism for autonomous placement of air-dropped payloads to speci ed ground coordinates. The work reported here investigates control issues for a parafoil and payload system with left and right parafoil brakes used as the control mechanism.It is shown thatparafoilandpayloadsystems can exhibit ...
متن کاملOn the Use of Rigging Angle and Canopy Tilt for Control of a Parafoil and Payload System
Controllable parafoil and payload aircraft are controlled with downward deflection of left and right parafoil brakes. Lateral control is obtained by differential deflection while longitudinal control is created by collective deflection of the left and right side parafoil brakes. The work reported considers an alternative method to control parafoil and payload air vehicles by tilting the parafoi...
متن کاملOn the Development of a Scalable 8-DoF Model for a Generic Parafoil-Payload Delivery System
The paper presents an initial move to develop a scalable high-degree-of-freedom model of the parafoilpayload system. The intention is to develop the tool capable of: i) determining basic system’s geometry parameters by observing the video data of the real descend, ii) readjusting the nominal aerodynamic and control coefficients incorporated into the well-established equations of motions, and ii...
متن کاملOn Development of Autonomous HAHO Parafoil System for Targeted Payload Return
An autonomous HAHO (high altitude, high-opening) parafoil system design is presented as a solution to the final descent phase of an on-demand International Space Station (ISS) sample return concept. The system design is tailored to meet specific constraints defined by a larger study at NASA Ames Research Center, called SPQR (Small Payload Quick-Return). Building on previous work in small, auton...
