Application of Generic Flight Controller Design Approach for A Delta Canard Fighter Aircraft -ADMIRE

Abstract

This paper presents the application of the recently developed Generic Flight Controller design approach by the authors for a delta canard fighter aircraft referred to Aero Data Model in Research Environment (ADMIRE). The generic flight controller developed for high performance fixed wing aircrafts uses the good features of nonlinear dynamic inversion with time scale separation, control allocation and integrator backstepping with the major advantage that the whole design cycle can be carried out quickly. The results obtained for ADMIRE using generic flight controller results have been compared with those obtained from the ADMIRE controller taken from literature. The quick adoption of generic flight controller to ADMIRE has been demonstrated along with encouraging results.
