Abstract

In this work, a switching linear quadratic integral (LQI) controller based on fuzzy logic is designed for the load-factor tracking problem of high-performance aircraft referred to as the Aero-Data Model in Research Environment (ADMIRE). ADMIRE is a new generation aircraft and has a wide flight operation envelope in terms of altitude and speed. Hence, it is difficult to design a flight controller to achieve a high tracking performance. First, the LQI controller is selected due to good tracking performance and robustness in the model dynamics. Combining switching LQI controller and fuzzy logic improves the transient performance of the closed-loop switched system. The results obtained with the fuzzy switching controller have been compared with the conventional LQI and the switching LQI in terms of robust demand tracking. The simulation results have demonstrated that the fuzzy switching controller is superior to the conventional LQI and switching LQI controllers due to better transient performance and robust stability.
