| dc.description.abstract | This brief addresses the problem of stabilizing steady, wing level flight of a fixed-wing aircraft to a specified inertial velocity (speed, course, and climb angle). The aircraft is modeled as a port-Hamiltonian system and the passivity of this system is leveraged in devising the nonlinear control law. The aerodynamic force model in the port-Hamiltonian formulation is quite general; the static, state feedback control scheme requires only basic assumptions concerning lift, side force, and drag. Following an energy-shaping approach, the static state feedback control law is designed to leverage the open-loop system’s port-Hamiltonian structure in order to construct a control Lyapunov function. Asymptotic stability of the desired flight condition is guaranteed within a large region of attraction. Simulations comparing the proposed flight controller with dynamic inversion suggest it is more robust to uncertainty in aerodynamics. | en |
