Switching LPV robust H_∞ controller for morphing aircraft

A morphing aircraft has different control objectives in different configurations. For the multi-objective-control problem of the morphing aircraft, a robust controller of theswitchinglinear parameter varying(SLPV) is proposed based on the average dwell time switching scheme in which the range of the sweep angle is divided into sub-regions according to the flight modes and design objectives, and the solvability condition of the problem with a given robust performance indices is established and a group of the LPV controllers is designed accordingly, meanwhile, the average dwell time scheme of switching is adopted to maintain the stability and the control performance of the aircraft in morphing. At last simulation results are used to showthat the designed controller can guarantee the excellent robustness and control performance.
