Abstract
A proposal of the perspective solution of the general aviation aircraft control system is presented. The objective of the proposed concept for the control system is to assist pilots with limited aviation training by: automatic stabilization of the aircraft's attitude, altitude, airspeed, and heading and decoupling of the flight controls. The structure and main functions of the control system is presented, and method of control laws synthesis is proposed. Flight control system is based on the model-following design technique. Two kinds of flight control systems are taken into consideration. The first solution is based on the optimal full-state feedback controller, the second one is the simplified controller, using the easy observed states for feedback loop only. The project calculation of the flight control system for PZL-110 “Koliber” aircraft, computer simulations and preliminary flight testing results will be presented.Keywords
