Switching LPV control for morphing aircraft

A switching linear parameter varying (LPV) system was applied to deal with multiple design objectives during the flight of morphing aircraft. A group of LPV controllers are then designed based on common parameter-dependent Lyapunov function and each of them is suitable for a specific subregion of the sweep angle; the process can be accomplished quickly within the permission of the morphing mechanism under the common parameter-dependent Lyapunov function scheme. The simulation results show that the controller designed in this paper can make the morphing aircraft have good response characteristics and tracking of command signal.
