Sensitivity Analysis of Linear Programming and Quadratic Programming Algorithms for Control Allocation
نویسندگان
چکیده
The next generation (NextGen) transport aircraft configurations being investigated as part of the NASA Aeronautics Subsonic Fixed Wing Project have more control surfaces, or control effectors, than existing transport aircraft configurations. Conventional flight control is achieved through two symmetric elevators, two antisymmetric ailerons, and a rudder. The five control surfaces, reduced to three command variables, produce moments along the three main axes of the aircraft and enable the pilot to control the attitude of the aircraft. Next generation aircraft will have additional redundant control effectors to control the three moments, creating a situation where the aircraft is over-actuated and where a simple relationship no longer exists between the required control surface deflections and the desired moments. NextGen flight controllers will incorporate control allocation algorithms to determine the optimal effector commands to attain the desired moments, taking into account the effector limits. Approaches to solving the problem using linear programming and quadratic programming algorithms have been proposed and tested. It is of great interest to understand their relative advantages and disadvantages and how design parameters may affect their properties. In this paper, we investigate the sensitivity of the effector commands with respect to the desired moments and show on some examples the sensitivity of the solutions provided by the linear programming and quadratic programming methods.
