Case studies on U-state space control system design for aircraft dynamic model (2015)
Presentation / Conference
Liu, X., Zhu, Q., & Narayan, P. P. (2015, December). Case studies on U-state space control system design for aircraft dynamic model. Paper presented at 7th International Conference on Modelling, Identification and Control (ICMIC), Sousse

In this study, U-state space design approach is used to develop a control system of linearized F-16 aircraft dynamic model. The related F-16 model is converted from the original nonlinear dynamics by Taylor series around the trimmed equilibrium. The...
