A Robust Large Envelope Flight Controller Design Method Based on the Particle Swarm Optimization Algorithm

Abstract

A robust flight control method based on the particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm is approved in this paper. Because of non-modeling dynamic character and parameter uncertainty are taken into consideration during the controller design process, the flight controller has strong robustness, excellent control performance and one robust controller could realize the large envelope flight control. In order to design the robust flight controller automatically and rapidly, the particle swarm optimization algorithm is used to select the weighting function. The simulation result shows that the weighting function could be designed automatically and rapidly, the flight controller has good performance and robustness.
