LMI-based Model Reduction for a Vectored-Thrust Ducted Fan Experiment
Carolyn Beck and Bobby Bodenheimer and Pascale Bendotti
Abstract
This paper contains the first experimental application of model
reduction methods developed for systems represented by a linear
fractional transformation (LFT) on a repeated scalar uncertainty
structure. These methods provide for reduction of both the state
order, and the uncertainty descriptions. LFT models of a
vectored-thrust flight control experiment are reduced in order to make
controller synthesis feasible. Recent linear parameter varying design
techniques are used to synthesize the controllers
