An automatic flight path controller, as part of a modular automatic flight guidance and control system, is presented, along with initial flight test results using a DA42 M-NG flying testbed. The basic principle for the flight path control is a reference model based dynamic inversion of the kinematic equations of motions, with pseudo-control hedging to account for inner loop dynamics and plant response...
The recent emergence of unmanned aerial vehicles asked for both well-performing auto-flight systems and fly-by-wire architectures. Towards this end, the trajectory control module of an integrated auto-flight control system is introduced in this paper, which utilizes nonlinear second-order error dynamics of the position error and uses nonlinear dynamic inversion as a control methodology. Flight test...
In this paper, a trajectory generation algorithm within an integrated flight guidance and control system is presented. The approach uses clothoids to deal with the problem of curvature steps during the transition phase between straight line and arc flight. The algorithm is designed in interaction with a trajectory controller for 2nd order error dynamics, which hence requires more trajectory information...
The present paper presents a trajectory generation approach for a nonlinear dynamic inversion controller using second order error dynamics. The trajectory generation module provides an approach for 3D-trajectories with speed contraints including the determination of the trajectory reference point, the relative kinematics and the determination of the first derivatives of the deviation between unmanned...
