摘要:Linear Quadratic Regulator (LQR) is widely used in many practical engineering fields due to good stability margin and strong robustness. But there is little literature reports the technology that has been used to control the flying wing unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV). In this paper, aiming at the longitudinal static and dynamic characteristics of the flying wing UAV, LQR technology will be introduced to the flying wing UAV flight control. The longitudinal stability augmentation control law and longitudinal attitude control law are designed. The stability augmentation control law is designed by using output feedback linear quadratic method. It can not only increase the longitudinal static stability, but also improve the dynamic characteristics. The longitudinal attitude control law of the flying wing UAV is designed by using command tracking augmented LQR method. The controller can realize the control and maintain the flight attitude and velocity under the condition without breaking robustness of LQR. It solves the command tracking problems that conventional LQR beyond reach.
