A Multiobjective Incremental Control Allocation Strategy for Tailless Aircraft

To address the control allocation problem caused by the redundant arrangement of control surfaces with nonlinear effectiveness for tailless aircraft, a novel multiobjective incremental control allocation (MICA) strategy is proposed. Firstly, the incremental nonlinear control allocation (INCA) method...

description To address the control allocation problem caused by the redundant arrangement of control surfaces with nonlinear effectiveness for tailless aircraft, a novel multiobjective incremental control allocation (MICA) strategy is proposed. Firstly, the incremental nonlinear control allocation (INCA) method together with the active set quadratic programming algorithm is adopted to precisely allocate the virtual control commands. Secondly, a series of normalized objective functions in the form of increment are designed. Combining these functions by means of linear weighted sum, an incremental multiobjective function is constructed. Then, an improved nondominated sorting genetic algorithm (INSGA) is introduced to offline determine a set of weights that best meets the requirements of each flight phase. In this way, the dependence on subjective experience is minimized based on the theory of Pareto optimal. Meanwhile, the huge computational burden that the intelligent optimization algorithm brings can also be avoided. Finally, combined with the nonlinear dynamic inversion (NDI) control method, a closed-loop validation for the effectiveness of this control allocation strategy is carried out on the tailless aircraft model.
