Model reference adaptive control for aircraft platforms.

摘要

The applicability of a model reference adaptive controller to an aircraft platform is examined in this thesis. The non-linear time-varying aircraft model is linearized and approximated by a series of linear time-invariant controllable and observable systems. The model reference adaptive controller is developed and applied to the linearized aircraft model and is tested via computer simulations using Simulink. The control solution yields acceptable results for the aircraft model used.
