Research on robust control allocation for the advanced configuration aircraft

The accuracy of control allocation algorithms relies on control effectiveness matrix. To address this issue, this paper focuses on the robustness of control allocation. Several existing robust control allocation algorithms are analyzed at first. Then performance evaluation criteria for robust control allocation, which are designed for flight control, are proposed based on performance requirements of flight control system. Comparisons among existing robust control allocation algorithms are conducted via simulations. Finally, robustness of existing robust control allocation algorithms is evaluated according to the proposed robustness evaluation criteria.
