Abstract

This paper studies the reliable robust tracking controller design problem against actuator faults and control surface impairment for aircraft. First, models of actuator faults and control surface impairment are presented. Then a reliable robust tracking controller design method is developed. This method is based on the mixed linear quadratic (LQ)//H tracking performance indexes and multiobjective optimization in terms of linear matrix inequalities. Flight control examples are given, and both linear and nonlinear simulations are given.
