| Summary: | In this paper, we approach control of aircraft dynamics
from an energy perspective. The method is based on the
passivity-based control technique, and similar to Total Energy Control Systems (TECS). The aircraft dynamics are
presented through the energy functions. By modifying these
functions, stabilisation and tracking can be achieved. The
method is illustrated on an automatic landing system problem
for a twin-engine civil aircraft, developed by Group for
Aeronautical Research and Technology in Europe (GARTEUR).
To deal with the separation of the short-period and the phugoid dynamics, we use ideas from singular perturbation
theory. Disturbance rejection and robustness analysis
are performed via Monte Carlo simulations. The proposed
control laws behave well even under extreme flight conditions |
