Aerodynamic-Free Adaptive Control of the NASA Generic Transport Model
نویسندگان
چکیده
Unanticipated and unknown changes in an aircraft’s aerodynamic stability derivatives may cause undesirable effects that render pre-designed control laws unsuitable for maintaining stability. Gradual changes in the stability derivatives may be due to icing on lifting surfaces, whereas structural damage may cause a sudden change. For this study, we use the nonlinear NASA Generic Transport Model (GTM) to investigate the ability of retrospective cost adaptive control (RCAC) to compensate for changes in the stability derivatives while maintaining steady level flight despite unknown variations in the aerodynamic modeling information.

airplane in presence of asymmetric left-wing damaged. Variations of the aerodynamic parameters, mass and moments of inertia, and the center of gravity due to damage are all considered in the nonlinear mathematical modeling. The proposed discrete-time nonlinear MRAC algorithm applies the recursive least square (RLS) algorithm as a parameter estimator as well as the error between the real ...

This paper presents a derivative-free model reference adaptive controller design for NASA genetic transport model. The proposed architecture does not assume the ideal weights of a parameterized uncertainty are constant. In addition, it does not require modification terms like σor emodification, or applying a projection operator to the weight estimates, for uniformly ultimately boundedness. The ...
