English abstract:
This paper presents the robust multi-objective design of a lateral feedforward control
law for a large flexible blended wing body (BWB) type passenger aircraft. A multitude of
both time- and frequency-domain design constraints are considered to achieve manoeuvre loads
alleviation and the desired tracking performance. A convex multi-model feedforward control
design is utilized. Scheduled and fixed control laws are obtained and numerically validated
and compared on several mass cases of the aircraft model, showing high loads alleviation
performance while obeying all stringent design constraints. The benefit of scheduling for a
fuel mass parameter is demonstrated.

Convex optimization; feedforward control; flight control; aircraft; loads alleviation
