Multi-Objective Optimal Control of the 6-DoF Aeroservoelastic Common Research Model with Aspect Ratio 13.5 Wing

Abstract: A new 6-DoF aeroservoelastic (ASE) Common Research Model (CRM) provided by The Boeing Company with aspect ratio 13.5 and 17 control surfaces per wing is utilized to demonstrate combined tracking and optimal multi-objective control. The multi-objective controller is derived on the closed loop tracking controller, and utilizes state and gust estimates provided by an extended state observer. Various methods of model reduction useful for control and estimation are presented. A computationally eff…
