Abstract
Aircraft dynamics are well modeled by a standard system of nonlinear ODEs (cf. [6] and [13]). Experience in industry shows that pilot simulations based on these nonlinear finite-dimensional models are very good.
Traditional flight control design is based on linear analysis, which goes by the process.
-
1.
Partition the flight envelope into several separate operating regimes (flight conditions).
-
2.
In each regime, the aircraft dynamics are approximately represented by a linear model.
