Abstract

This paper presents a framework for attitude command tracking flight controller for a general aviation aircraft using Classical and Incremental Nonlinear Dynamic Inversion approaches. The theoretical background and a framework for attitude tracking flight control framework based on the controllers are presented in this paper. A comparative study of attitude tracking performance of the model dependent Nonlinear Dynamic Inversion Controller and the measurement dependent Incremental Nonlinear Dynamic Inversion Controller for a light aircraft is performed through numerical simulations. Also, Performance evaluation of the Classical and Incremental Nonlinear Dynamic Inversion controllers are carried out under nominal conditions, external disturbances and model uncertainties.
