Abstract
The main objective of the Action Group was to investigate the potential benefits of nonlinear design and analysis methods for control law development in aerospace vehicles. To guarantee the industrial relevance of the project, two highly realistic simulation models were developed, together with demanding design/analysis challenges. These benchmarks in themselves represent significant achievements of the project, since there are still very few industrially relevent aircraft models, with realistic design and analysis specifications, available in the open literature on which control theoreticians can test and validate new techniques and algorithms. An additional benefit of the on-ground transport aircraft benchmark developed by Airbus for the project is that it represents a non-standard control application (at least in the context of aerospace control!) and thus adds another new and challenging set of problems to those traditionally addressed by flight control law designers.
