Abstract :
The application of receding horizon control (RHC) with the linear parameter varying (LPV) design methodology to a high fidelity, nonlinear F-16 aircraft model is demonstrated. The highlights of the paper are: i) use of RHC to improve upon the performance of a LPV regulator; ii) discussion on details of implementation such as control space formulation, tuning of RHC parameters, computation time and numerical properties of the algorithms; and iii) simulated response of nonlinear RHC and LPV regulator
