English abstract:
This paper presents the robust multi-objective design of a lateral feedback
control law for a large flexible blended wing body (BWB) type passenger aircraft. An initial
controller is synthesized and optimized using a convex synthesis approach based on the Youla
parameterization and an LMI formulation. A multitude of both time- and frequency-domain
design constraints are considered aiming to improve disturbance rejection. The obtained control
law is numerically validated on several mass cases of the aircraft model, showing high loads
alleviation and vibration reduction performance while obeying all stringent design constraints.
