Design of an AutoLand Controller for a Carrier-Based F-14 Aircraft Using H infinity Output-Feedback Synthesis

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to present the results of a design effort to improve F-14 carrier landing performance by the incorporation of the Direct Lift Control into the aircraft's control system. This was done using a new design methodology whereby typical SISO design specifications were translated into the weighting functions of an H(sub infinity), output-feedback synthesis problem. Finally, a technique is presented for the simplification of the Structured uncertainty model for the air vehicles.
