不確かさを有するスケジューリングパラメータを用いたゲインスケジュールド飛行制御器の MuPAL-αに対する設計と性能検証

This paper addresses the design problem of Gain-Scheduled (GS) flight controllers, in which only inexact scheduling parameters are available, for aicraft motion control. Most of existing design methods for GS controllers implicitly suppose that exact scheduling parameters are available. However, this does not always hold true in practice, which has invoked the research on the design of GS controllers depending on inexact scheduling parameters. We design a GS flight controller for the lateral-directional motion of JAXA's fixed-wing experimental aircraft MuPAL-α using a recently proposed design method which guarantees the pre-defined control performance under the bounded uncertainties in the provided scheduling parameters. We examine the applicability and performance of our controller by flight tests.
