This paper presents application of the forward-propagating Riccati equation (FPRE) control for the aircraft flight control system for command following and disturbance rejection. Unlike classical finite-horizon optimal control, where the differential Riccati equation is integrated backwards in time for a given final-time condition, FPRE control uses differential equations that are integrated forward in time. Although this technique is heuristic and guarantees neither performance nor stability, simplicity of the FPRE algorithm makes it attractive for applications for nonlinear systems defined using a state-dependent coefficient parameterization. The performance of the proposed flight control system is investigated via the numerical simulations using a nonlinear model of a fixed-wing aircraft.

Adaptive control of guided missiles Tiryaki Kutluay, Kadriye; Yavrucuk, İlkay; Department of Aerospace Engineering (2011) This thesis presents applications and an analysis of various adaptive control augmentation schemes to various baseline flight control systems of an air to ground guided missile. The missile model used in this research has aerodynamic control surfaces on its tail section. The missile is desired to make skid to turn maneuvers by following acceleration commands in the pitch and yaw axis, and by keeping zero roll attitude. First, a linear quadratic regulator baseline autopilot is designed for the control of the...
Nonlinear Guidance of Aircraft Formations Tekinalp, Ozan (null; 2015-01-05) Nonlinear formation flight control algorithm for a pair of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) is proposed. The leader-follower approach to formation flight is adopted. The leader maintains a prescribed trajectory while the follower is controlled to track and maintain a fixed relative distance from its leader. Two nonlinear guidance algorithms, Lyapunov and State Dependent Ricatti Equation, (SDRE) based are proposed for the relative guidance of the follower UAV. The resulting formation control systems are tested...
Nonlinear Dynamic Inversion Autopilot Design for an Air Defense System with Aerodynamic and Thrust Vector Control Bıyıklı, Rabiya; Yavrucuk, İlkay; Tekin, Raziye; Department of Aerospace Engineering (2022-2) The study proposes complete attitude and acceleration autopilots in all three channels of a highly agile air defense missile by utilizing a subcategory of nonlinear feedback linearization methods Nonlinear Dynamic Inversion (NDI). The autopilot design includes cross-coupling effects enabling bank-to-turn (BTT) maneuvers and a rarely touched topic of control in the boost phase with hybrid control which consists of both aerodynamic fin control and thrust vector control. This piece of work suggests solut...
Direct Adaptive Limit and Control Margin Estimation with Concurrent Learning Gursoy, Gonenc; Yavrucuk, İlkay (American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA), 2016-6) In this paper, two vital signals to enable flight envelope protection, namely the onset to the flight envelope (limit margin) and the available control travel to reach the limit boundary (control margin), are estimated using improved noniterative adaptive neural-network-based approximate models. The adaptive elements use current and past information (concurrent learning) and have guaranteed signal bounds. Minimum singular value maximization is used to record data for concurrent learning. Results showed bett...
SDRE Based Guidance and Flight Control of Aircraft Formations Tekinalp, Ozan (null; 2015-01-05) In this paper, a nonlinear guidance algorithm to control unmanned aircraft formationsis presented. This algorithm is based on State Dependent Riccati Equation (SDRE) ap-proach. Guidance equations are developed for leader-follower formation conﬁgurations.Flight control algorithms use SDRE based controllers as well, in the longitudinal and lat-eral dynamic channels of the aircraft. Leader aircraft follows the given speed, heading andaltitude commands and follower aircraft follows the leader using the commands...
