Observer-based flight control system design under linear matrix inequalities approach

Abstract

The paper examines a problem of observer-based flight control system design. The design procedureallows deriving both the observer and the controller simultaneously. The peculiarity of the proposedapproach is that there is no need not need to choose the observer poles. The proposed design procedureis based on linear matrix inequalities technique. To demonstrate the efficiency of the proposedapproach a longitudinal motion of unmanned aerial vehicle is used as a case study

Keywords
