FLIGHT TEST OF IN-FLIGHT SIMULATOR CONTROLLER FOR SIMULTANEOUS SIMULATION OF GUST RESPONSE AND HANDLING RESPONSE

摘要

This paper presents flight test result of In-Flight Simulator (IFS) controller which simulates gust response as well as handling response. To simulate these two responses simultaneously, we first design a robust feedback controller to simulate gust response via scaled H_∞ control, we then design a feedforward controller to simulate handling response via H_∞ control. We design two controllers for the lateral-directional motions of a research aircraft for two different target aircraft. Hardware-In-the-Loop (HIL) simulations and flight tests with the designed controllers confirm that the controllers achieve our objective; that is, the controllers simultaneously simulate gust response as well as handling response.
