Aircraft Flight Stabilizer System by CDM Designed Servo State-Feedback Controller

Resumen

This research presents an automatic flight control system whose advantage is its ease of modification or maintenance while still effectively meeting the system?s performance requirement. This research proposes a mixed servo state-feedback system for controlling aircraft longitudinal and lateral-directional motion simultaneously based on the coefficient diagram method or CDM as the controller design methodology. The structure of this mixed servo state-feedback system is intuitive and straightforward, while CDM?s design processes are clear. Simulation results with aircraft linear and nonlinear models exhibit excellent performance in stabilizing and tracking the reference commands for both longitudinal and lateral-directional motion.
