Abstract

A gain-scheduling approach for uncertain Linear Parameter-Varying (LPV) systems with fixed linear fractional relationships on a parameter set is developed. The approach combines LPV theory based on Linear Matrix Inequalities (LMIs) and μ-synthesis to form a new robust approach for large envelope control design. The new approach is used to design an automatically gain-scheduled pitch-rate controller for the F-16 Variable Stability In-Flight Simulator Test Aircraft (VISTA). The ability of the approach to generate controllers for predicted Level 1 flying qualities is illustrated with a high fidelity nonlinear simulation.
