Model-Free Adaptive Angular Rate Control for Carrier-Based Aircraft
摘要
A data-driven model-free adaptive control (MFAC) scheme is applied in the flight control system in automatic carrier landing problem, addressing the nonlinearity and external disturbance issues of carrier-based aircraft. The fundamental components of MFAC, which is wholly constructed from the aircraft’s input/output information. Adaptive estimation method improves the robustness to the nonlinearities and external disturbances. The MFAC system is applied in pitch rate control submodule and ensures the tracking error convergence. Simulation results demonstrate that the automatic carrier landing system (ACLS) incorporating MFAC can efficiently accomplish the landing task.
