In this paper, fuzzy logic control method is used to control the formation flight of fixed wing aircraft in leader-follower form. A two loop control structure is used. In the inner loop, aircraft flight is controlled using the State Dependent Riccati Equation (SDRE) method. In the outer loop, fuzzy logic control approach is used to control the formation guidance. The success of the approach is demonstrated through simulations.

Mathematical model development of the anti torque system of a notar helicopter Bakır, Hüseyin Murat; Yavrucuk, İlkay; Department of Aerospace Engineering (2008) The anti-torque mechanism of a NOTAR helicopter is a complex system including vertical tail and pressurized tail boom which provides air ejection used for both circulation control around the boom and creating directed jet air at the end of the boom. This thesis targets the modeling of this mechanism and integrating it to a helicopter simulation model. Flight tests are performed on the MD 600N helicopter to verify the results. Finally, the simulation is compared with flight test data.
Measurements of dynamic stability derivatives using direct forced oscillation technique Alemdaroglu, N; Iyigun, I; Altun, M; Quagliotti, F; Guglieri, G (2001-08-30) The subject of the experimental investigation presented in this paper is to measure the dynamic stability derivatives of a generic combat aircraft model in the Ankara Wind Tunnel by using the direct forced oscillation technique. The model, used for the tests is the AGARD, Standard Dynamic Model (SDM). The aerodynamic loads acting on the model are measured with a five component internal strain gauge balance placed inside the oscillating model. The paper presents the experimental set-up used to create the osc...
Development of a State Dependent Riccati Equation Based Tracking Flight Controller for an Unmanned Aircraft Tekinalp, Ozan (2013-08-22) A dual loop nonlinear State Dependent Riccati Equation (SDRE) control method is developed for the flight control of an unmanned aircraft. The outer loop addresses the attitude and altitude kinematics, while the inner loop handles the translational and rotational equations of motion. The control strategy utilizes a tracking control problem. The mismatch due to the SDC factorization of the inner loop is handled with a nonlinear compensator again derived from the tracking control formulation. The quadratic opt...
Structured H-Infinity controller design and analysis for highly maneuverable jet aircraft Özkan, Salih Volkan; Tekinalp, Ozan; Department of Aerospace Engineering (2022-2-10) Robust control technique is utilized to develop flight control laws for highly maneuverable aircraft. A structured H-Infinity controller is used to optimize the gains of the proposed control algorithm. For this purpose systune algorithm available in Matlab is employed to successfully obtain the controller gains satisfying selected design requirements. Designed control laws are evaluated according to these requirements and validation of the methodology is presented.
Optimization of Flapping Motion Parameters for Two Airfoils in a Biplane Configuration Kaya, Mustafa; Tuncer, İsmail Hakkı; Jones, Kevin D.; Platzer, Max F. (American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA), 2009-03-01) Flapping motion parameters of airfoils in a biplane configuration are optimized for maximum thrust and/or propulsive efficiency. Unsteady, viscous flowfields over airfoils flapping in a combined plunge and pitch are computed with a parallel flow solver on moving and deforming overset grids. The amplitudes of the sinusoidal pitch and plunge motions and the phase shift between them are optimized for a range of flapping frequencies. A gradient-based optimization algorithm is implemented in a parallel computing...
