چکیده

-There has been a great deal of excitement recently over the development of a theory for explicitly linearizing the input-output response of a nonlinear system using state feedback. One shortcoming of this theory is the inability to deal with non-minimum phase nonlinear systems. Highly maneuverable jet aircraft, such as the V/STOL Harrier, belong to an important class of a slightly non-minimum phase nonlinear systems. The non-minimum phase character of aircraft is a result of the small body forces that are produced in the process of generating body moments. In this paper, we show that, while straightforward application of the linearization theory to a non-minimum phase system results in a system with a linear input-output response but unstable internal dynamics, designing a feedback control based on a minimum phase approximation to the true system results in a system with desirable properties such as bounded tracking and asymptotic stability.

Robust Gain-Scheduled Control for Planar V/STOL Aircraft with Time-Varying Mass and Moment Parameters

This paper considers a robust gain-scheduled control approach for the planar vertical takeoff aircraft dynamics. The uncertain property of the aircraft mass, moment, and the non-minimum phase parasitic coupling are all addressed by considering their reasonable range in the progress of controller design. An approach of composite control law is performed addressing all the inherent uncertainties ...

Robust hovering control of a PVTOL aircraft

We study robust hovering control of vertical/short takeoff and landing (V/STOL) aircraft. For hovering control, we can model a V/STOL aircraft as a planar vertical takeoff and landing (PVTOL) aircraft. We use a recently developed optimal control approach to design a robust hovering control. The resulting control is a nonlinear state feedback whose robustness is demonstrated by numerical simulat...

A New Near Optimal High Gain Controller For The Non-Minimum Phase Affine Nonlinear Systems

In this paper, a new analytical method to find a near-optimal high gain controller for the non-minimum phase affine nonlinear systems is introduced. This controller is derived based on the closed form solution of the Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman (HJB) equation associated with the cheap control problem. This methodology employs an algebraic equation with parametric coefficients for the systems with s...
