Identification and Optimization of Aircraft Dynamics.

Abstract

A technique is described for the design of an adaptive controller for multivariable systems and is based on recently developed methods for identification and optimization. An application of the method to a helicopter system with time-varying parameters is considered in detail. The response of the adaptive system is compared with the corresponding response of a system with a fixed controller and a system using optimal control. The comparison reveals the almost optimal character of the adaptive system. (Author)
