Flight systems and control : a practical approach

By: Ng, Tian Seng.
Series: Springer aerospace technology. Publisher: Singapore Springer 2018Description: xxv, 241p.ISBN: 9789811087202.Subject(s): Flight control | Microprogramming | Systems engineeringDDC classification: 629.1326 | N499f Summary: This book focuses on flight vehicles and their navigational systems, discussing different forms of flight structures and their control systems, from fixed wings to rotary crafts. It explores laboratory testing of flight navigational sensors, such as the magnetic, acceleration and Global Positioning System (GPS) units, and illustrates the six-axis inertial measurement unit (IMU) instrumentation as well as its data acquisition methodology. The book offers an introduction to the various unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) systems and their accessories, including the linear quadratic regulator (LQR) method for controlling the rotorcraft. Robust control system is developed as a technique to withstand wind gusts and disturbances. It also describes a Matrix Laboratory (MATLAB) control algorithm that simulates and runs the lab- based 3 degrees of freedom (DOF) helicopter, as well as LabVIEW software used to validate controller design and data acquisition. Lastly, the book explores future developments in aviation techniques.
