Optimal LQR Controller Design for Wing Rock Motion Control in Delta wing Aircraft

Abstract

In this work, an Optimal Linear Quadratic (LQR) and optimal Minimax controller is proposed for Wing Rock Motion Control in Delta wing Aircraft model. The nonlinear Wing Rock Motion dynamics were considered. The LQR and Minimax controllers are designed in order to reduce the Wing Rock Motion. Simulations are performed in order to verify the ability of both controllers to reduce the wing rock motion in delta wing aircraft. Results were plotted together in order to show the difference of performance for both controllers for a comparative point of view.
