LPV Modeling and Gain Scheduled Control of ALFLEX Vehicle Flight Systems

Abstract

In this paper, we show a result of practical flight control systems synthesis adopting recently developed gain scheduled control framework. First, we propose a general method to obtain linear parameter varying (LPV) model with norm bounded uncertainties from state space realization data at several operation points. Using the obtained LPV model, we next give a method to design a gain scheduling controller that satisfies multiple control specifications including classical stability margin. Finally, we apply these methods to the flight control systems synthesis of ALFLEX vehicle that requires many practical control specifications.
