Abstract :
This paper contains the first experimental application of model reduction methods developed for systems represented by a linear fractional transformation (LFT) on a repeated scalar uncertainty structure. These methods provide for reduction of both the state order, and the uncertainty descriptions. LFT models of a vectored-thrust flight control experiment are reduced in order to make controller synthesis feasible. Recent linear parameter varying design techniques are used to synthesize the controllers
