An Integrated Methodology for Flexible Aircraft Control Design (Une Methodologie Globale de Conception de lois de Commande Pour l'Avion Souple)

Abstract

This article details recent research activities of the Systems Control and Flight Dynamics department of ONERA in the field of flexible aircraft control. A long-term research program has been conducted for several years, with governmental funds, and with the technical support of AEROSPATIALE-Avions (Toulouse, France). Beyond the primary objectives a of achieving various specifications for simultaneous aircraft motion and structural dynamics control, more a fundamental questions are addressed, concerning the implications of rigid-structural dynamics coupling for the selection of suitable control law design methodologies.
