Abstract :
This paper presents an integral minimum variance-like controller design based upon a specific pooled non-linear autoregressive moving average with exogenous excitation (NARMAX) representation. The controller design introduces suitable modifications to account for the characteristics of the pooled NARMAX representation. The control strategy is subsequently applied to a nonlinear aircraft system in order to obtain regulation of the pitch rate around a predetermined value (zero for the given case). Comparisons with a conventional PID control design are also made under various operating conditions (disturbances due to external input/turbulence)
