English abstract:
In this paper, an H-infinity full information feedforward design approach for longitudinal motion prefilter
design of a large flexible blended wing body (BWB) aircraft is presented. An existing onset is extended
such that specifications concerning command tracking, limited control energy and manoeuvre load reduction
can be addressed simultaneously. An automated tuning process is proposed as well as a design
methodology for the parameter-varying design case is presented. The obtained controller is validated on
a high-order nonlinear model, indicating the high potential of the presented approach for flexible aircraft
control.
