Flight Control Law Design Skill
Purpose
Enable expert flight control law development including classical and modern control design methods, stability analysis, and robustness verification.
Capabilities
- MATLAB/Simulink control law implementation
- Classical control design (PID, lead-lag)
- Modern control methods (LQR, H-infinity)
- Gain scheduling implementation
- Stability margin analysis
- Robustness analysis
- Nonlinear simulation
- Pilot-in-the-loop simulation support
Usage Guidelines
- Define clear control objectives and performance requirements
- Ensure adequate stability margins across the flight envelope
- Consider actuator dynamics and rate limits in design
- Verify robustness to modeling uncertainties and variations
- Test control laws with representative pilot inputs
