Abstract:Background: A non-linear mathematical model of underactuated airship is derived in this paper based on Euler-Newton approach. The model is linearized with small disturbance theory, producing a linear time varying (LTV)model. The LTV model is utilized to design a linear quadratic tracking (LQT) controller. Two scenarios of LQT are presented in this work according to assumed costates transformations to compute the LQT control law.
Results: The LTV model is verified by comparing its output response with the resu… Show more
