Abstract:A robust dynamic inversion approach is proposed for the longitudinal control of an aircraft with thrust vectoring
at high angles of attack. The inner-loop-outer-loop control structure of the nonlinear dynamic inversion via time-scale
separation is modified, and a system with weak nonlinearity is obtained through coordination transformation. Then, the
model of this system, including both known and unknown parts, is linearized through little perturbation and translated into a
linear uncertain system, on this basis a robust controller is designed by using the ??-synthesis method. The proposed approach
can guarantee the robust stability and the robust performance of nonlinear dynamic inversion control, and it can also avoid
the need for time-scale separation. Simulation results show the effectiveness of the control approach.
