“…As the levitation force is the function of the air gap and vertical velocity, set the rated air gap y 0 = g 0 and rated vertical velocity ẏ 0 = 0, the linearisation result of formula () is expressed as follows [
27, 28]:
where F 0 is the levitation force at the rated levitation position, and
When the vertical upward direction is taken as the reference positive direction, the dynamic equation of the system can be obtained as follows [
29]:
where F d is the external disturbance force and m is the vehicle mass.…”
