06.1 - Flight Dynamics and Control (Control & Modelling)
EXPLICIT MODEL FOLLOWING TRAJECTORY CONTROL SYSTEM FOR MULTIPLE VERTICAL TAKEOFF AND LANDING CONFIGURATIONS
A. Comer¹, I. Chakraborty¹; ¹Auburn University, United States
This paper demonstrates a flight control system architecture suitable for Simplified Vehicle Operations and applicable to three dissimilar vehicle configurations. It utilizes a novel Trajectory Control System for controlling longitudinal dynamics coupled to explicit model following inner-loop control. This is demonstrated through representative maneuver simulations.
