The Study of Distributive Parameter Systems for Flight Control
Abstract
The research conducted during the last year has been primarily directed toward the development of new controller synthesis techniques for large modern Air Force aircraft. Control and modeling of systems with distributive parameters and time delays have been considered. The goal has been to evolve techniques which can be readily used in the design of controllers to reduce structural loading during wind gusts and in the design of controllers which can be used in configuring the vehicle to reduce appendage size and weight while maintaining satisfactory aircraft handling characteristics. An eventual goal is to have techniques of synthesis which take account of control capabilities during the original configuring of the vehicle that is, to enable design of the control system in parallel with the structure and propulsion systems.
