Abstract:

Guidance and control of aircraft in the landing phase imposes extra pilot work loads, hence application of automatic landing control systems is of great importance. In this study automatic landing control systems are introduced and an optimal landing control system is designed. The control system performance criteria are based on minimum control effort. The designed system is simulated for a transport category aircraft in accordance with FAR requirements. The results show that the designed system is completely capable of controlling the aircraft in its landing corridor.

Optimal Guidance for Lunar Module Soft Landing

In this paper, we consider an optimal control problem arising from the optimal guidance of a lunar module to achieving soft landing, where the description of the system dynamics is in a three-dimensional coordinate system. Our aim is to construct an optimal guidance law to realize the soft landing of the lunar module with the terminal attitude of the module to be within a small deviation from b...

Neural Networks for Optimal Control of Aircraft Landing Systems

In this work we present a variational formulation for a multilayer perceptron neural network. With this formulation any learning task for the neural network is defined in terms of finding a function that is an extremal for some functional. Thus the multilayer perceptron provides a direct method for solving general variational problems. The application of this numerical method is investigated th...

Optimal Online Path Planning for Approach and Landing Guidance

A method for solving finite-horizon optimal control of nonlinear systems has been developed in this paper and used for an online path planning problem. The new controller synthesis is motivated by the state-dependent Riccati equation (SDRE) technique that was developed for solving regulator and tracking problems. However, finite-time problems need to meet specified boundary conditions for the a...
