Feedback Controlled Aircraft Sensitivity to Parameter Variations.

Abstract

This report is concerned with a sensitivity study of a flight control design using optimal control theory and observer theory. A simplified model of an airplane's vertical motion is used. Hybrid computer simulation indicates that the linearized design is satisfactory only if the operating conditions are not too drastically different from the nominal, and that a multipoint design, or an adaptive control design might be preferable.
