The H-infinity method is used to augment the lateral stability of Boeing 747-100 flight at Mach numbers and altitudes of (0.2, sea-level), (0.5, 6096 m), and (0.9, 12192 m). The aim is to attenuate the lateral-directional states' perturbations coupling with the aileron and rudder. The method is synthesized with the artificial bee colony algorithm to ensure a robust quadratic performance under moderate sideslip and bankroll disturbances based on the mixed H-infinity sensitivity criteria. Such an optimizer effectively weighs the design gain matrices for at least a degree of freedom higher than without it. Stable eigenvalues and steady-state responses are reached for the step states. The controller appropriately tracks reference side velocity, roll rate and yaw rate and effectively compensates for sideslip and bankroll disturbances. Despite the transient peaks for the roll and yaw rates, level convergences are obtained for the other states. Dutch roll mode meets flying qualities of airworthiness requirements, whereas roll and spiral modes slightly diverge nearby the landing conditions. The H-infinity and artificial bee colony synthesis were well performed for bankroll and sideslip references of small to moderate perturbations. A high-fidelity optimizer may be considered for a severe level of disturbance and transitory behaviour.

“…An H ∞ -based approach using the MOI has been proposed [14], [15]; this was extended to utilize the MOGA as the searching algorithm [16]. The MOGA has also been combined with LMIs for mixed optimization [17] and applied for robust controller design for aircraft lateral dynamics [18].…”

This paper presents a multi-objective evolutionary algorithm design of a longitudinal optimal controller for a large flexible transport aircraft. The algorithm uses a mixed optimization approach based on a combination of Linear Quadratic Regulator (LQR) control and a Multi-Objective Genetic Algorithm (MOGA) to search over a set of possible weighting function structures and parameter values in order to satisfy a number of conflicting design criteria. The proposed approach offers a number of potential optimal solutions lying on or near the Pareto optimal front of competing objectives. The approach is explained in this paper and some results are presented.

The objective of this paper is the implementation and validation of a robust H ∞ controller for an UAV to track all types of manoeuvres in the presence of noisy environment. A robust inner-outer loop strategy is implemented. To design the H ∞ robust controller in the inner loop, H ∞ control methodology is used. The two controllers that conform the outer loop are designed using the H ∞ Loop Shaping technique. The reference vector used in the control architecture formed by vertical velocity, true airspeed, and heading angle, suggests a nontraditional way to pilot the aircraft. The simulation results show that the proposed control scheme works well despite the presence of noise and uncertainties, so the control system satisfies the requirements.
