Evaluation of Nonlinear Dynamic Inversion Technique Applied to Flight-Path Control

摘要

Flight-path control is an essential function of autopilot system for aircraft to perform guidance control. Dynamic inversion has been one basic nonlinear control technique to deal with the control problems of various nonlinear systems such as aircraft dynamics. This paper presents an evaluation of dynamic inversion technique to flight-path control based on a simplified aircraft dynamic model. The performance of flight-path control using nonlinear dynamic inversion technique is demonstrated by simulation. The applicability, complexity and tracking performance are also discussed.
