The present invention overcomes this control allocation problem by using as its foundation a dynamic inversion control law for nonaffine-in-control dynamic systems that was earlier developed by Naira ...

Traditional control systems like Nonlinear Dynamic Inversion (NDI) rely heavily on precise mathematical models. While this worked well for conventional aircraft, it falls short in today’s complex, ...

Considering the characteristics of large slenderness ratio structure, it is reasonable to simplify the dynamics of a HALE aircraft as the plunge, pitch, and flap motions of a planar airfoil. The ...

In the relentless drive to build more cost-efficient, less resource-intensive structures, their operating envelopes are expanding resulting in larger deflections and geometric nonlinearities being ...
