Using the Model Reduction Techniques to Find the Low-Order Controller of the Aircraft's Angle of Attack Control System

Abstract

The problem of controlling the angle of attack of the aircraft is one of the difficult and complex problems due to the problems of nonlinear kinematics, variable parameters and uncertainty model. The design of the angle of attack control according to the robustness control algorithm often leads to a higher order robustness controller. Using a higher-order controller has many disadvantages, so it is necessary to have solutions to reduce the order of the controller. This paper presents the idea of designing a low-order controller for the aircraft's angle of attack control system using the order reduction algorithm. In order to meet the requirements of performance and stability when parameters change, the optimal controller of the aircraft's angle of attack is usually of high order. The paper has used order reduction algorithms to reduce the order of high-order angle of attack controller, the results show that: 4th-order controller or 1st-order controller can be used instead of high order controller. Using a low-order controller to control the aircraft's angle of attack shows that the quality of the control system is comparable to that of a high-order controller.
