Modular Control Law Design for the Innovative Control Effectors (ICE) tailless Fighter Aircraft Configuration 101-3

A modular flight control system is developed for a tailless fighter aircraft with innovative control effectors. Dynamic inversion control synthesis is used to develop a full envelope flight control law. Minor dynamic inversion command variable revisions are required due to the tailless nature of the configuration studied to achieve nominal stability and performance. Structured singular value and simulation analysis shows that robust stability is achieved and robust performance is slightly deficient due to modeling errors. A multi- branch linear programming based method is developed and used for allocation of redundant limited control effectors.Air Force Research Lab Wright-Patterson AFB OH Air Vehicles Directorate is the author of 'Modular Control Law Design for the Innovative Control Effectors (ICE) tailless Fighter Aircraft Configuration 101-3', published 1999 under ISBN 9781423539599 and ISBN 1423539591.
