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.

Control System Design of a Vertical Take-off and Landing Fixed-Wing UAV Cakici, Ferit; Leblebicioğlu, Mehmet Kemal (2016-05-20) In this study, design and implementation of control system of a vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) unmanned aerial vechicle (UAV) with level flight capability is considered. The platform structure includes both multirotor and fixed-wing (FW) conventional aircraft control surfaces: therefore named as VTOL-FW. The proposed method includes implementation of multirotor and airplane controllers and design of an algorithm to switch between them in achieving transitions between VTOL and FW flight modes. Thus, VT...
Flight control system design of an uncommon quadrotor aerial vehicle Baskın, Mehmet; Leblebicioğlu, Mehmet Kemal; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2021-9-01) In this thesis, design of a flight control system for an uncommon quadrotor aerial vehicle is discussed. This aerial vehicle consists of two counter-rotating big rotors on longitudinal axis to increase the lift capacity and flight endurance, and two counter-rotating small tilt rotors on lateral axis to stabilize the attitude. Firstly, full nonlinear dynamic model of this vehicle is obtained by using Newton-Euler formulation. Later, derived approximate linear model around hover is statically decoupled to sim...
High angle attack maneuvering and stabilization control of aircraft Ateşoğlu, Özgür; Özgören, Mustafa Kemal; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2007) In this study, the implementation of modern control techniques, that can be used both for the stable recovery of the aircraft from the undesired high angle of attack flight state (stall) and the agile maneuvering of the aircraft in various air combat or defense missions, are performed. In order to accomplish this task, the thrust vectoring control (TVC) actuation is blended with the conventional aerodynamic controls. The controller design is based on the nonlinear dynamic inversion (NDI) control methodologi...
High-alpha flight maneuverability enhancement of a fighter aircraft using thrust-vectoring control Atesoglu, Oezguer; Oezgoeren, M. Kemal (American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA), 2007-09-01) This study focuses on high-alpha flight maneuverability enhancement of a fighter-bomber aircraft for air combat superiority using thrust-vectoring control. Two basic air superiority maneuvers are studied as test cases, which are the Cobra maneuver with longitudinal motion and the Herbst maneuver with both longitudinal and lateral motions. The necessary mathematical models are built to describe the nonlinear 6-degree-of-freedom flight dynamics, the nonlinear aerodynamics, the engine, and the thrust-vectoring...
Experimental Investigation of Optimal Gap Distance between Rotors of a Quadrotor UAV Kaya, Dilber Derya; Kutay, Ali Türker; Tekinalp, Ozan (2017-06-09) The effect of spacing between the rotors of a quadrotor Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) in hovering flight is investigated. Experiments are conducted to obtain a mathematical relation between the diameter of the rotor and gap distance between each rotor. Constraints such as the maximum thrust force and minimum energy consumption are imposed. Several rotors having different sizes are tested at various RPMs with a changing gap distances, and total thrust produced by four rotors is measured. The results are give...
