Computational Analysis of Aircraft Control Systems.

This paper presents the algorithms for the solution of the optimal control problem of wide scale linear dynamic systems. These algorithms are based on the prediction concept. For the beginning, is considered the interaction prediction approach and afterwards, the cost prediction approach is used. The convergence behavior of the proposed algorithms is thoroughly investigated. In this paper is designed a multi-input, multi-output controller by shaping the gain of an openloop response across frequency. This technique is applied to controlling the pitch axis of an aircraft. Eventually, the paper successfully investigates and demonstrates how to choose a suitable target loop shape and to compute a multivariable controller that optimally matches the target loop shape.
