Abstract :
The roll angle, the yaw angle and the side-slip position of test aircraft in electromagnetic wind tunnels, are independently controlled. The problem is proven to be always solvable by applying a static state feedback law involving aerodynamic and electromagnetic variables. The general forms of the static controllers, solving the problem, as well as the resulting closed loop system, are derived. The stability of the closed loop is guaranteed
