21st Southern California Nonlinear Control
Workshop State Limiter for Model
Following Control Systems
Ross Gadient,
USC Advisor: Petros Ioannou We present state-limiting
augmentation applied to a baseline dynamic inversion
control design. While the baseline dynamic
inversion control law is designed to meet robustness and
performance requirements throughout a flight envelope,
the state-limiting component protects the system
trajectories from leaving an allowable subset in the
system state space. The proposed design is applied
to the X-48B blended-wing-body (BWB) aircraft in both
the longitudinal and lateral/directional axes, with
simulation results included.
