Optimal Flight Control System Design Using LQR: A Study on Load Minimum and Drift Minimum Analysis

Ramona Devi

Abstract: This paper outlines the core principles underlying flight control, including both analysis and design aspects. The Linear Quadratic Regulator (LQR) control methodology is employed to attain performance, stability, and robustness. It delves into essential concepts such as load minimization and drift minimization. The control system's design is subsequently simulated and subjected to analysis using Simulink.
