Control of Flight
Provides a broad overview for researchers and engineers in aerospace control, but is incremental as it surveys existing knowledge without presenting new results.
This talk covers mathematical fundamentals, state-of-the-art, challenges, and open problems in flight control for atmospheric vehicles, emphasizing reduced-order modeling, simulation, and guidance/control systems with stability and performance guarantees.
The main focus of this talk is to present mathematical fundamentals, state-of-the-art, technical challenges and open problems in control of flight for atmospheric vehicles, such as aircraft and other aerial platforms. Reduced order modeling and flight simulation key features for control applications will be discussed. The emphasis is on the theoretical and engineering aspects of creating and transitioning to practice guidance and flight control systems with guarantees of closed-loop stability, robustness and performance.
