Dynamic model inversion is a popular method for flight controllers of air vehicles reducing the need for gain scheduling. However, imperfect model inversion, and non-accurate aerodynamic data may cause degradation of performance, and may lead to un-stability of the controller. The novel L1 adaptive control augmentation system offers an adaptive element to augment the control signal to account for matched and un-matched system uncertainties. In this paper, dynamic inversion controllers designed for the control of a missile are augmented with L1 adaptive controllers. The resulting controllers are examined through high fidelity, nonlinear, 6 D.o.F. simulations.

Cooperative Adaptive Cruise Control With Predicted Vehicle Information: Development and Evaluation
Kılıç, Furkan; Schmidt, Klaus Verner; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2022-8)
Using cooperative adaptive cruise control (CACC), it is possible for a platoon of vehicles to travel safely while increasing the traffic throughput and reducing the fuel consumption. Specifically, the maximization of the traffic throughput and the minimization of the fuel consumption is best supported by a constant spacing policy (CSP). In addition, driving safety requires the attenuation of any disturbances through the vehicle platoon, which is captured by the notion of string stability. In order to realiz...
Control allocation for a multi-rotor e-vtol aircraft using blended-inverse
Aksoy, Emre; Yavrucuk, İlkay; Department of Aerospace Engineering (2021-2-25)
In this thesis, the control allocation problem in a flight control system design for a multi-rotor eVTOL (electric Vertical Takeoff and Landing) aircraft is proposed. The vehicle consists of 20 identical rotors that are used as flight control actuators. The dynamic system is a MIMO (Multi Input Multi Output) system with more inputs than outputs, i.e. there are many solutions of the control problem. The objective is to find an efficient and redundant control solution that provides sufficient flight performan...

This doctoral study aims to develop a methodology for use in determining aerodynamic models and parameters from actual flight test data for different types of autonomous flight vehicles. The stepwise regression method and equation error method are utilized for the aerodynamic model identification and parameter estimation. A closed loop aerodynamic parameter estimation approach is also applied in this study which can be used to fine tune the model parameters. Genetic algorithm is used as the optimization ker...
