Smooth Switching Output Tracking Control for LPV Systems

Abstract

This paper is concerned with the problem of smooth switching state feedback controller design for aircraft dynamic systems with multiple operating points. Based on the theory of robust control, a single state feedback controller which considers smooth switching is constructed. With the constant controller, the output response can be considerably improved in the switching process when the flight condition changes. An example for autopilot design of an F-18 aircraft is given to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach.
