Abstract :
The purpose of this paper is to present the results of a design effort to improve F-14 carrier landing performance by the incorporation of the direct lift control into the aircraft´s control system. This was done using a new design methodology whereby typical SISO design specifications were translated into the weighting functions of an H∞ output-feedback synthesis problem. Finally, a technique is presented for the simplification of the structured uncertainty model for the air vehicles.
