Introduction

The NASA

Ames

Research

Center

developed

the Aircraft

Synthesis

(ACSYNT)

computer

program
to synthesize
conceptual
future aircraft designs and to evaluate critical performance
metrics early in the design process before significant
resources
are committed
and cost decisions
made. ACSYNT
uses steady-state
performance
metrics, such as aircraft range, payload
and fuel
consumption,
and static performance
metrics, such as the control authority
takeoff rotation and for landing with an engine out, to evaluate conceptual

designs

with respect

to selected

criteria

required
for the
aircraft designs. It can

and constraints.

Many modem aircraft have stability provided by the flight control system rather than by the
airframe.
This may allow the aircraft designer
to increase
combat agility, or decrease
trim drag,
for increased
range and payload. This strategy requires concurrent
design of the airframe
and the
flight control system, making trade-offs
of performance
and dynamics
during the earliest stages
of design.
ACSYNT
presently
lacks means to implement
flight control system designs but research
is being
done to add methods for predicting
rotational
degrees of freedom and control effector
performance.
A software module to compute
and analyze the dynamics
of the aircraft, and to
compute
feedback
gains and analyze closed loop dynamics
is required.
The data gained from
these analyses
can then be fed back to the aircraft design process so that the effects of the flight
control system and the airframe
on aircraft performance
can be included
as design metrics.
This report presents
results of a feasibility
study and the initial design work to add an inner loop
flight control system (ILFCS) design capability
to the stability and control module in ACSYNT.
The overall objective
is to provide a capability
for concurrent
design of the aircraft and its flight
control system, and enable concept designers
to improve performance
by exploiting
the
interrelationships
between aircraft and flight control system design parameters.
1.1

Background

The objective

of aircraft

conceptual

design

is to answer

basic

questions

of configuration

arrangement,
size and weight, cost, and performance.
1 The goal is to work through
choices available
to aircraft designers
rapidly, efficiently,
and effectively
to arrive

the major
at a

configuration
that satisfies the given requirements.
Designers
use rules of thumb, algorithms,
design guidelines,
history and projections
of the capabilities
of new technology
to determine
best to satisfy many diverse and sometimes
conflicting
requirements.
The conceptual
design

how

phase ends with specialists


in disciplines
such as aerodynamics,
structures,
propulsion
and
control systems using specialized
tools to analyze their parts of the problem.
At this point, the
design effort fragments
into specialized
disciplinary
efforts that may or may not stay in step with
each other. The conceptual
design phase is unique in that it is the only time the aircraft design
resides in a single designer's
mind or on a single computer. 2
The ACSYNT
program
uses parameter
studies, industry practices,
and important
trends to
estimate
the aerodynamic,
structural,
weight and balance, propulsion,
stability and control, and
economic
characteristics
of a conceptual
design. It provides
six ways to arrive at a final

ACSYNT
continually
evolves to account for technology
advances, and to add precision
and
expanded
capabilities
in the aircraft disciplines
of propulsion,
aerodynamics,
structures,
and
stability and control that are required to perform and evaluate design trades between the
disciplines
at the conceptual
design level. This enables concept designers
to improve the
performance
of their designs by exploiting
the interrelationships
between design parameters
that
are in the domains of these more specialized
disciplines.

Enhancing ACSYNT
capabilities
must avoid increasing
the number of required inputs
excessively
and adding such complexity
in the specialized
disciplines
that the tool is no longer
usable by aircraft concept designers.
The objectives
are to determine
rapidly and efficiently
the
effect on total aircraft performance
of design changes at high levels within these disciplines
and
to allow discipline
specialists
the opportunity
to understand
how their efforts affect other
disciplines.
Each discipline
has so many design parameters
and performance
metrics that only parameters
and metrics of each discipline
that have the most influence
on aircraft performance
must be
identified
and integrated
into the concept design process. This integration
should use
formulations
and approximations
that promote rapid design iterations
until more design details
can be established.
A designer
has many choices available. Adding additional
level of detail to ACSYNT
will
increase the number of choices and the difficulty
of comparing
multiple concepts
and the time
required
as more choices will have to be made without the aid of the ACSYNT
tool. To enable a
designer
to focus on the effects on performance
of specific aspects of the aircraft, initial designs
that satisfy all constraints
must be provided.
Moreover,
default constraints
must also be provided.
These defaults
and initial designs provide a point of departure
for the designer.

derivative computation
methods were found in references s. 6.
The design approach
adopted for ACSYNT
will use linearized

aircraft dynamics
at selected flight conditions
within the flight envelope.
The linear-quadratic
method was chosen as the flight control system design algorithm
because it accommodates
linearized
dynamics
with lateral/longitudinal
coupling
and because it provides
a "hands-off"
way
to compute
feedback
gains from design criteria. The linear-quadratic
method uses the dynamics
in state-space
form, and the important
stability derivatives
to form these dynamics
were
identified.
The state-space
form has the advantages
that many analytical,
design, and simulation
tools exist for dynamics
in this form. The FCS architecture
will assume that all aircraft state
variables
can be measured
perfectly and fed back through a control law to the actuators
to
guarantee
closed loop stability even when aircraft dynamics
is open loop unstable.
Case studies comprising
3 aircraft, each at 3 flight conditions,
were used to test the pole
placement
method and the linear-quadratic
method. A single set of initial control design
parameters
were found to give acceptable
results for the longitudinal
dynamics.
This provides a
good starting point for automated
control design iterations.
We also tested the method on
lateral/directional
dynamics.
A preliminary
specification
for an interface
between ACSYNT
and
an inner loop control design module has been formulated.

Two kinds of outputs are required of the ILFCS design process. The first are the data provided
to
the user to show how well the process is converging,
how good the final controller
performs,
and
what might be done to improve performance.
The second are data provided

Definition

In the context

of aircraft

design,

the control

effectors

are the mechanisms

that are used to

produce forces and moments


for controlling
the roll, pitch, and yaw orientation
of the aircraft.
Conventionally,
these effectors
have consisted
simply of aileron, elevator
and rudder for roll,
pitch, and yaw control, respectively.
These effectors are classified
as "control
surfaces"
because
they are movable
surfaces
on the wing and tail; they produce
control moments
by altering the
basic lift forces and restoring
moments
produced
by the aerodynamics
of the wing and tail.
As aircraft designs have

The flap

is designed
first to give the appropriate
slow speed lift characteristics
for the landing or
takeoff process. This sets the inner span boundary
Ya/for most ailerons. The exception
is for
some jet transports
where inner and outer sets of ailerons are used inside and outside of the
flaps. For this case, the flaps also set the outer span boundary
for the inner aileron. For delta
wing aircraft,
elevons are used for both roll and pitch control. The geometric
constraints
imposed
by the flaps are the same, however. The outer limit of the aileron span Yao is the
wing half-span

is some reasonable

From Table 3.2 for business jets, all the designs are conventional
with elevator, rudder and
aileron surfaces.
The average elevator area is 30.8% of the horizontal
stabilizer
area. The average
rudder area is 24.0% of the vertical stabilizer
area. The average aileron area is 5.3% of the wing
area.
For jet transports,
Table 3.3 shows that this class of aircraft has a conventional
tail configuration.
The exception
is the L1011 which uses a stabilator.
The average elevator surface area is 32.4%
the horizontal
tail area. The average rudder surface area is 29.3% of the vertical tail area.

of

The roll control for jet transports


uses both inboard and outboard ailerons and spoilers. Table 3.3
presents
span and chord dimensions
for all four surfaces. Typically,
the inboard ailerons
operate
in all flight conditions,
but the outboard ailerons operate with flaps down only. Spoilers are used

15

for both lateralcontrol andas speedbrakes.Of the 17aircraft types

in Table 3.3, the nine smaller


aircraft (B737 etc.) do not have inboard ailerons. The exception
is the A310 which does not have
outboard
ailerons. All configurations
but the Fokker F-28 have inboard
spoilers. Only four of the
types have outboard
spoilers. The average aileron surface area is 3.7% of the wing surface area.
Thus, for conceptual
design of jet transports,
the roll control surface design can be primarily
by
means of inboard
spoilers and outboard
ailerons for "large" classification

Preliminary Control Surface Design Methodology

This section

a procedure

for

specification
of the dimensions
of the control surfaces. This begins by picking average geometry
and specifying
the constraints
if the control surface has to be changed to produce

geometry
is based on fractions
of wing and tail span and chord dimensions.
These terms are maintained
within the default parameter

b. Business
jet aircraft. Assume that business jets only have outboard
ailerons. Use the average
aileron surface area to be 5.3% of the half wing area. Follow the same steps as for fighter
aircraft.
c. Jet transport
aircraft. Assume that large category
transports
have only outboard
ailerons and
spoilers.
Use the average aileron surface area to be 3.0% of the half wing area. Then follow
the same steps as for the fighter aircraft in designing
the aileron. For the spoilers, use the
average span and chord dimensions
from aircraft with inboard spoilers only to position and
dimension

the spoilers.

For heavy category transports,


add an additional
1.0% surface area to cover the inbound aileron
design. Then follow the same steps as for the outbound
aileron except for Step 3. Instead, assume
the inbound aileron runs from the inner flap edge inward. Solve for the inner aileron span
dimension
to produce the desired area. Determine
that this is beyond the fuselage wall distance
from the aircraft centerline.
3.1.3.2 Rudder. It is assumed that the vertical stabilizer
planform
has been previously
specified
and that any constraints
such and engine and horizontal
stabilizer
geometry
have been noted. Use
the remaining
trailing edge of the vertical stabilizer
to define the rudder span. Then use average
rudder surface areas to pick the chord dimension.
For fighter and business jet aircraft, assume that 22% of the vertical tail is used for the rudder.
For jet transports,
assume that 29% of the vertical is used for the rudder.
3.1.3.3 Elevator.
For fighter aircraft, assume a stabilator
design so that the pitch control surface
is the same as that of the horizontal
stabilizer.
For business jet and transport
aircraft, assume that
the previously
designated
trailing edge is available
for elevator design. Assume
an elevator
surface area of 30% of the horizontal
stabilizer.
Solve for the chord dimension
that will produce
this area, taking

Roskam 6 gives a procedure
for checking
for the required

elevator-canard
surfaces. Raymer 1 discusses
the moment equation
for pitch with the requirement
that sufficient
rotation torque is available

terms

In Eq. (3.1), the fast and second terms account for the change in the e.g. location on the pitching
moments
caused by the wing and horizontal
tail. The second term includes the effective
tail
moment arm (Xach - Xcg) and the change in tail lift due to elevator deflection
in the term CLh.
The other terms include other moments
caused by the free wing, flap deflection
effect, fuselage,
engine thrust, and other engine rotor effects. For takeoff rotation,
additional
moment terms must
be added due to the upward force of the ground on the main landing gear (accounting
for partial
lift) and the backward
force due to rolling friction. In normal trimmed flight, Eq. 3.1 must equal
zero. For adequate
takeoff rotation torque, the moment due to added lift from full elevator
deflection
must counter the other terms.
In addition

adequate
torque, the angle of attack must

in Step b, plot the aircraft trim diagram. An example
is shown in Fig.
3.4. The steps to generate this plot are detailed in Roskam. 7 However,
from Fig. 3.4, it is
evident
that the boundaries
shown require the zero pitching moment as a function of lift
coefficient
for the maximum
forward and aft c.g. locations
plus the lift coefficient
at
maximum
angle of attack for each of the elevator deflection
settings. This requires that the
control derivative
CL& be known; its computation
is discussed
in Section 3.2.3.
d. From the aim diagram, determine
if equilibrium
flight is possible for the flight conditions
of
interest.
Criteria for acceptance
include that the control surface deflection
is within the range
designed
into the aircraft, the angle of attack is below airplane stall, and the tail (or canard)
are not stalled within the aim-triangle.

The aileron effectiveness

(3.3)

Here, p is the steady roll rate caused by the aileron deflection


t_a. The terms Clp and Clg_a are the
damping-due-to-roll
stability derivative
and the roll power control derivative,
respectively.
To
increase roll rate requires either increasing
the aileron deflection
or increasing
the control
derivative
by enlarging
the surface or moving it further out on the wing.
3.2.1.3 Rudder produced
moments.
The primary constraint
that must be met by the rudder is the
engine-out
case at takeoff. The rudder must produce sufficient
yawing moment to keep the
aircraft at zero angle of sideslip at takeoff speed (1.1 times stall speed) with one engine out and
at the aftmost e.g. location.
Rudder deflection
should be no more than 20* to allow additional
deflection
for control.

Design Inputs Required

To compute
the control derivatives
requires input from several sources throughout
the ACSYNT
code. This includes
the control surface geometry
and moment arms from the "geometry"
module,
the lumped mass weights and their moment arms to compute moments
of inertia from the
"weights"
module,
and the lift curve slopes of the wing and tail surfaces with aileron, elevator,
and rudder deflections.
The computation
of control derivatives
also requires the computation
of
certain stability derivatives
first. This is depicted
in the program
flowchart
in Fig. 3.5.

must be adjusted to increase

This can be done by increasing
the chord and spanwise dimensions
of the surface, moving the surface further out on the wing, or
increasing
the tail volume. Each of these adjustments
would usually produce
a weight and or
drag penalty, so it is desirable
to adjust the surface effectiveness
only the amount required.
Because of the general non-linear
character of the functions
used to compute the control

it will be necessary
to set up some type of iterative process to change the control

to just meet the control derivative

requirements.
The changes that

Conclusion

This section outlined procedures


that can be used to perform a preliminary
design of a variety
aerodynamic
control surfaces. It also presented
formulae
to compute
the control derivatives
required
to derive and analyze the aircraft dynamics
and to design flight control systems.

of

Inner Loop Control Design

The main driver for the design of a stability and control module for ACSYNT
is the requirement
that it shall provide
a "hands-off"
or "black box" method to compute
feedback
gains for a flight
control system. This is a very difficult requirement
to meet---even
for a conceptual
aircraft m
because of the wide variety of aircraft a designer
can produce using ACSYNT.
In addition, the
dynamical
properties
of a single aircraft can change significantly
over its flight envelope.
For
example,
in the ten case studies done as a part of this work, six had unstable
longitudinal
dynamics
and one had nonminimum
phase dynamics.
For the lateral/directional
dynamics,
one
aircraft has a roll inertia that changes by a factor of three because
of different
fuel loadings for
the flight

conditions

that were analyzed.

Furthermore,
fielded flight control systems are very diverse. 9 The answers to the questions
of
what state variables
must be measured,
how to generate the required
moments
and forces, and
how the measurements
are used to form actuator commands
vary with aircraft, mission,
and
designer
experience.
In practice, flight control design is an iterative,
man-in-the-loop
process
uses several mathematical
techniques.
Qualitative
judgments
are made at every point of the

that

process.

A flight control system comprises


four fundamental
kinds of elements:
aircraft dynamics,
actuators,
sensors,
and feedback
control laws (Figure 4.1). For the purpose of conceptual
design,
we consider
an actuator
to be an aircraft control surface or vectored
thrust, and the hydraulic
or
electric
servoactuator
that moves it. We consider
the sensor to be a measurement
of the aircraft
state variables.

The following

4.1

subsections

discuss

each of these elements

in turn.

The aircraft dynamics used for the control design algorithm


are derived by linearizing
nonlinear
equations
of motion that include forces and moments
due to aerodynamics,
propulsion
and
gravity. The linearization
is performed
at a constant flight condition,
i.e., at a constant velocity
and angular rate. The result is a set of linear, differential
equations
with the stability and control
derivatives
as coefficients.

The derivation of Equations


4.1 and 4.2 is documented
in most standard

used
to convert
dimensionless
stability and control
derivatives
to dimensioned
stability and control derivatives
are in Roskam 11 and in the
Appendix.
4.1.2

Coupled

Dynamics

Equations 4.1 and 4.2 are decoupled,


i.e., the state variables in one equation
do not depend on the
state vectors in the other equation.
This is the usual case because most aircraft are bilaterally
symmetric
with respect to the vertical longitudinal
plane and because most steady flight
conditions

put the relative

wind vector

in the same plane.

Cross coupling
has two causes. First, inertial cross coupling
occurs
inerfias and differences
between moments
of inertia are significant

when cross products


and the angular rates

of
are high.

For example,
consider
the moment equations,
Eq. 4.3. When a roll moment, L, is applied, a yaw
moment, N, is produced
by the roll-yaw
coupling
in the first and third equations
of Eq. 4.3 and
the nonzero cross product
of inertia, Jxz. When Ix and Iz are significantly
different
as in modern
fighter aircraft, a pitch moment, M, is also produced.

Q Jxz
(4.3)

M =(_Iy +PR(lx-lz)+(P2-R2)Jxz
N =l_Iz-l_Jxz

Blakeloek
12 shows how to do a simplified
analysis of inertial cross coupling
for a constant
rate. He first assumes
that the steady velocities
P and U are constants
to eliminate
the roll
moment and forward
force equations.
This yields differential
equations

Eqs.4.4 can easilybeput into state-space

thatall threecontrolsurfacedeflectionsappearin Eq. 4.4,thusmaking thefeedbackcontrol
problemmorecomplex.Blakelockconcludeswith two examples.The first is an aircraft stable
for all roll ratesandthe secondis anaircraftunstablefor a rangeof roll rates.
In addition

to inertial

cross

coupling,

aerodynamic

cross

coupling

occurs

when

the aircraft

rotates

around any axis except the velocity vector, e.g., body axis roll at nonzero angles of attack. In the
derivation
of Eqs. 4.4, Blakelock
assumed that the principle
axes of the aircraft were aligned with
the stability axes. For nonzero angles of attack, the aerodynamic
moments
are caused by the
wind vector, but are expressed
in the vehicle stability axes. The body axes are inclined to the
stability axes by the steady-state
angle of attack. Hence, the moments
can depend on roll, pitch
and yaw angle, e.g., sideslip becomes angle of attack and angle of attack becomes
sideslip at a
90* roll angle. In other words, terms depending
on 4, 0, and V ought to be included
in
Equation

4-4.

The issue of cross coupling raises significant


modeling
and control questions.
Blakelock's
approach
to inertial coupling during a steady roll is a reasonable
approximation
for conceptual
design, provided
the assumptions
hold. Other maneuvers
will require new derivations.
In the case
of aerodynamic
coupling,
the usual stability and control derivatives
may not be applicable
because they are derived at equilibrium
flight conditions,
either theoretically,
or from wind
tunnel or flight data. These flight conditions
usually have the body axes fixed with respect to the
relative wind. In either case, the control design methodology
proposed
in this report applies,
given the correct data to form a linear, state-space
model.

or electric motors move the control surfaces of modern aircraft. Each of
these actuators
has dynamics
that can affect control system performance.
Furthermore,
these
actuators
are constrained
to move the surfaces only within rate and deflection
limits. The control
surface limits are set to ensure that maximum
deflection
is within the stall limits of that surface.
Typical acceptability

The important
question for conceptual
design is how much faster or slower is the actuator
dynamics
than the aircraft dynamics.
If the actuator response
is faster than the aircraft response,
the actuator dynamics
can be ignored because it will have only a small effect on aircraft
performance.
For performance
evaluation
by simulation
the complexity
also depends
on the
kinds of control surfaces used, as in Figure 4.3. Consequently,
the code for modeling
the actuator
system must be flexible so that more complex models can be added later as the need arises.
Table 4.4 presents
actuator data from Johnston 9 , Bosworth 13, and Brumbaugh.14
Johnston
presents
an uneven accumulation
of block diagrams
of flight control systems for some recent
aircraft. The figures are derived from a variety of sources and present data ranging from names
of hardware
items to transfer functions.
The slowest actuator is the C-5A aileron with a 0.250 s
time constant.
This converts to a 4.0 rad/s bandwidth
which is slower than the F-4C phugoid
mode, but about three times faster than any of the 747 modes. Most of the actuator bandwidths
reported
by Johnston
and Bosworth
are between
10 and 20 rad/s.

Consequently,
the performance
results for the case studies reported
in this document
were
derived under the assumption
that the dynamics
of the actuators
was sufficiently
faster than the
dynamics
of the airframe
that it could be ignored.
The overall actuator lag should be included
as a design variable because actuator
speed
influences
cost, weight, and power; the control design methodology
we propose can easily
accommodate
different
actuator models by including
additional
actuator state variables
to the
aircraft dynamics.
For flight control system (FCS) conceptual
design, the simple actuator model
depicted
in Figure 4.2 is probably
adequate.
The linear ftrst order lag model can be used in the
gain computations.
Rate and deflection
limits on effectors
are also important
because they, along with position
and
area, determine
the effectiveness
(authority)
of the control surfaces. The effect of rate and
deflection
limits on performance
usually is determined
during simulation
analysis rather than the

greater than the limits to achieve a

This
ways to feed effects on dynamical
performance
back to the aircraft design.

Sensors

The sensors that measure


aircraft state variables
have dynamics,
generate noise, show biases and
bias drift, and suffer from scale factor errors and drift. These characteristics
of sensors are major
concerns
during the detailed design and analysis of flight control systems. Equation
4.5 shows a
general measurement
model, in which b and bd are the bias and bias drift, Ksf is the scale factor, f
andfd are the scale factor error and drift, v is the noise and the rational polynomial
is the transfer
function of the sensor dynamics.

(4.5)

The dynamics
may cause a lag between the measurement
and the aircraft state variable
measured.
Also, very fast (or very slow) changes in the state variables
may not be measurable.
Noise is a random variation
added to the state variable measured.
This can be reduced by adding
a filter, and, consequently,
more dynamics,
to the signal path. Bias is a constant offset from the
measured
state variable and the associated
drift is a slow change in the bias. A feedback
control
system will follow the bias because it assumes that the sensor is correct. The scale factor error
changes
the gain of the sensor, and the associated
drift is a slow change in this error.
All of these characteristics,
while important
during detailed control system design, can be
ignored when designing
inner loop control systems for aircraft conceptual
designs. First, most
sensors and noise filters have a wider bandwidth,
i.e., are faster, than aircraft dynamics.
Second,
noise can and is typically filtered; an excessively
noisy sensor will not be used, or it will be
augmented
with other sensors. A good estimate of a state variable from several sensors can be
obtained
using methods such as Kalman filtering.
Next, the effect on a feedback
system of bias is
so predictable
that modeling
the bias for a design concept is unnecessary.
Bias drifts depend on
the instrument,
the environment
and on age. The effect of bias can be reduced
by implementing
a
bias estimator
in an extended
Kalman filter. Finally, the scale factor error is usually a fraction of
a percent. The effect on the loop gain is negligible.
The results for the case studies
this report were obtained by assuming
the flight sensors are perfect.

The inner loop control design concept developed


and demonstrated
as a part of this work uses the
linear-quadratic
(LQ) control design methodology
to compute
the feedback
gains. The gains
from this technique
depend on the aircraft dynamics
and design parameters
that can be set by the
designer
or loaded from defaults. After the initial design choices are made, the software then
iteratively
modifies
the design parameters
based on the control system performance
to converge
toward performance
specifications
and satisfy constraints
that, again, are set by the designer
or
loaded from defaults. If the control design does not converge,
possible remedies
are fed back to
the aircraft

design.

to start the control design process. The stability of the closed
loop system is guaranteed
when the dynamics

and "observable."
Controllability
and observability
are mathematical
conditions
that are easy to verify. The stability ensures that
performance
metrics can be evaluated
at each design iteration to provide a basis to change the
control design parameters
for the next iteration.
The effect of changes in design parameters
is
clearly traceable
to closed loop performance
in the time domain. This means that the control
design

process

will converge.

The theoretical
foundations
of the linear-quadratic
method are well documented
in standard
references

The Linear-quadratic

Method

The objective is to find a feedback


controller
that minimizes
the integral of a quadratic
cost
function that penalizes
large or long-term
deviations
in the state variables
and the control effort.
Mathematically,
the problem is to minimize

Designers

computations

to solve the optimization

Q is a 5 by 5 matrix, and R is a scalar because the elevator is

Discussion of Case Studies

Controllers
were designed using the LQ approach for the nine case studies from Roskam 11
described
in Subsection
4.1 and for one example from McRuer 1. The performance
of the pitch
controllers
designed
using the initial design parameters
is summarized
in Figure 4.6 and detailed
results

are presented

in the Appendix.

Figure 4.6 shows bar graphs for the pitch overshoot,


rise time, peak vertical acceleration,
and
peak elevator deflection
metrics. Each graph plots the performance
of pitch controllers
for eight
of the longitudinal
case studies. The feedback
gains for each of the controllers
were computed
using the initial design parameters
in Eqs. 4.12 and 4.13. The cases are numbered
as in
Subsection
4.1. The results show that the initial design parameters
are a reasonable
choice to
start a design iteration because the resulting controllers
are stable and their performance
is
reasonable
for a wide range of aircraft and flight conditions.

Figure 4.7 shows the effect on four performance
metrics of changing

The aircraft is the F-89 example
from McRuer. 1 Both the pitch overshoot
and the rise time
decrease
as the penalty on pitch angle increases.
To achieve this decrease,
both the peak vertical
acceleration
and the peak elevator deflection
must increase. If there were constraints
on vertical
acceleration
or elevator deflection,
graphs such as Figure 4.7 can show the achievable
minimum

either the constraints
must be
changed,
or the aircraft must be changed.

Figure 4.6 shows the results for eight of the case studies from Roskam. Case 9, the F-4 at
supersonic
cruise, is not shown because the controller
performance
for the initial design
parameters
was sufficiently
worse than the first eight cases that the performance
metric values
for case 9 would have been off scale. The dynamics
of the F-4 at this flight condition
are called
nonminimum
phase dynamics
because at least one zero of the transfer function has a positive real
part. The existence
of such a zero limits the magnitude
of the feedback
gains. This is a limit
common
to all control design methods, including
classical,
modern and linear-quadratic
approaches.
The LQ method still yields a stable controller;
however,
the performance
is difficult
to improve

without

modifying

the method.

The classical solution to such a problem is to add a compensation


filter that has poles and zeros
with negative real parts to the control loop. The limit on the magnitude of the feedback gains can
be increased by choosing
suitable filter poles and zeros. The LQ approach can be modified by
adding the compensation
filter to the aircraft dynamics in much the same way that the pitch
integral state was added to obtain the controllers
for the case studies.

Figure 4.8 shows a SIMULAB block diagram of an inner loop flight control system implementing
an LQ feedback
law for the lateral/directional
dynamics
of the Learjet Model 24. The Mux block
combines
5 scalar setpoints
into a 5-vector;
the vector of measurements
of state variables
from
the Aircraft block is subracted
from the setpoint vector to form an error vector. Each element of
the error vector is multiplied
by two feedback
gains--one
for the aileron, and one for the
rudder--to
form two 5-vectors.
The DeMux blocks split the 5-vectors
into two sets of 5 scalars
each. Each set of scalars is summed;
one sum forms the aileron deflection
command
and the
other sum forms the rudder deflection
command.
Both scalar commands
are combined
into a
2-vector

by a Mux block

and sent to the Aircraft block.

Figure 4.9 shows the performance


results for a Learjet Model 24 turn. The objective is to perform
a 3 deg/s turn with a zero sideslip angle. Figure 4.8 shows a 3 deg/s step in the yaw rate setpoint.
This occurs at 5 s in Figure 4.9. The yaw rate shows a 0.5* steady-state
error and the sideslip
angle is 2.5*. Roskam 6 says that a sideslip angle of less that 5* is "acceptable."
The design
parameters
chosen give a reasonable
error. Adding integral control would

compromise
between sideslip and steady-state
yaw rate
decrease the steady-state
errors to much smaller values.

To achieve these results, only the lateral velocity and the yaw rate state variables
had nonzero
elements
in the Q matrix, and all elements of the R matrix were nonzero.

Control Effector Design

Section 3 of this report outlined the process whereby the ACSYNT


program
could compute
the
geometries
of the control surfaces and the resulting
control derivatives.
The control derivatives
are necessary
inputs to the FCS design process discussed
in Section 4. The control surface

is necessary

of the control derivatives.
Also, this geometry
has to
have certain flexibility
in layout to enable the aircraft to meet air worthiness

First, considerations

The historic trends in ratios of control surface to wing or tail

The stability and control data are photocopies


from Roskam.1
The data were entered into
MATLAB scripts to form the state-space
differential
equations
for the longitudinal
and lateral
dynamics.
Two additional
scripts, one for longitudinal
dynamics
and one for lateral dynamics,
were written to compute eigenvalues,
natural frequencies,
damping
ratios, and frequency
responses
for the dynamics.
These scripts are listed in Section A.3.
The conversions
from dimensionless
to dimensioned
stability and control derivatives
were done
three at a time by first making each parameter,
stability derivative
and control derivative
a
3-vector-----one
element
for each flight condition.
The conversion
computations
are then
performed
using vector arithmetic.
The state-space
matrices
were formed from the appropriate
elements
of each vector.

E.2=Ax +Bu
y=Cx+Du

(A-l)

Equation
A-1 is an intermediate
form for the state-space
equation
that was formed because some
stability derivatives
depend on the derivatives
of the state variables
in the case of the longitudinal
dynamics
and because of the roll/yaw
coupling in moment equations
in the case of the lateral
dynamics.
The final form is obtained by multiplying
the first equation of the pair by the inverse
of E.

The stability and control data are photocopies


from Roskam.1 The data were entered into
MATLAB scripts to form the state-space
differential
equations
for the longitudinal
and lateral
dynamics.
Two additional
scripts, one for longitudinal
dynamics
and one for lateral dynamics,
were written to compute
eigenvalues,
natural frequencies,
damping ratios, and frequency
responses
for the dynamics.
These scripts are listed in Section A.3.
The conversions
from dimensionless
to dimensioned
stability and control derivatives
were done
three at a time by fh'st making each parameter,
stability derivative
and control derivative
a
3-vector----one
element for each flight condition.
The conversion
computations
are then
performed
using vector arithmetic.
The state-space
matrices
were formed from the appropriate
elements
of each vector.

E.Cc=,Ax +Bu
y =Cx +D u

(A-l)

Equation
A-1 is an intermediate
form for the state-space
equation
that was formed because some
stability derivatives
depend on the derivatives
of the state variables
in the case of the longitudinal
dynamics
and because of the roll/yaw coupling
in moment equations
in the case of the lateral
dynamics.
The final form is obtained by multiplying
the fh-st equation
of the pair by the inverse
of E.
The frequency
response
graphs show three traces----one

Frequency

of lateral dynamics

The stability and control data are photocopies


from Roskam. 1 The data were entered into
MATLAB scripts to form the state-space
differential
equations
for the longitudinal
and lateral
dynamics.
Two additional
scripts, one for longitudinal
dynamics
and one for lateral dynamics,
were written to compute
eigenvalues,
natural frequencies,
damping
ratios, and frequency
responses for the dynamics.
These scripts are listed in Section A.3.
The conversions
from dimensionless
to dimensioned
stability and control derivatives
were done
three at a time by first making each parameter,
stability derivative
and control derivative
a
3-vector--one
element for each flight condition.
The conversion
computations
are then
performed
using vector arithmetic.
The state-space
matrices
were formed from the appropriate
elements
of each vector.
E._=,Ax +Bu
y =Cx +D u

(A-l)

Equation
A-1 is an intermediate
form for the state-space
equation
that was formed because some
stability derivatives
depend on the derivatives
of the state variables
in the case of the longitudinal
dynamics
and because of the roll/yaw
coupling in moment equations
in the case of the lateral
dynamics.
The final form is obtained by multiplying
the first equation of the pair by the inverse
of E.
The frequency
The line styles

response
graphs show three traces----one
for each of the three

automatically use the dynamics parameters and the feedback gain that are computed in MATLAB.
The open loop transfer function evaluation is performed by linearizing a SIMULAB block diagram
with the appropriate feedback path cut. For these case studies, the path is either the elevator, the
aileron, or the rudder.
