Hypersurface normalised gain-scheduled controller for a non-linear 6-DOF fast jet
Aerospace Science and Technology(2020)
Abstract
This paper describes a novel approach for improving the dynamic response of a bank-to-turn autopilot for a non-linear six degree-of-freedom (6-DoF) aircraft model. The autopilot consists of a series of gain-scheduled (GS) proportional, integral and derivative (PID) controllers that govern the aircraft's angular velocities for roll, pitch and yaw. The controller gains have been optimised for localised trim points and applied continuously to the controllers using linear interpolation to form a hypersurface. Our novel solution has been achieved by implementing a set of scheduled gains for near-zero reference signals and integrating this with a set of gains that are normalised to the reference signal. The proposed approach has been compared to conventional gain scheduling techniques using a series of step input simulated manoeuvres, applied individually to the roll and pitch controllers. The results show improved rise and fall times, steady state errors, as well as reduced controller effort. (C) 2020 Elsevier Masson SAS. All rights reserved.
