ONLINE SHORT COURSE

PRACTICAL DESIGN METHODS FOR AIRCRAFT AND ROTORCRAFT FLIGHT


CONTROL FOR CONVENTIONAL CIVIL/MILITARY, UAV, AND AAM
APPLICATIONS WITH HANDS-ON TRAINING USING CONDUIT®
Instructed by: Dr. Mark Tischler and Dr. Tom Berger

OVERVIEW
The course will be a combination of lectures, interspersed with associated hands-on lab exercises (aircraft and rotorcraft) to be
completed by the students on their own computers using the CONDUIT® Professional version (2-month trial provided with
course). While our design approach is based on multi-objective parametric optimization, we intend that course attendees who
use a different design method will still find the course a useful and comprehensive presentation of well-validated flight-control
principles and rules of thumb. This course should challenge the practicing engineer to consider where their flight-control
processes can be improved or augmented. The many examples from recent piloted and UAV aircraft programs illustrate the
effectiveness of this technology for rapidly solving difficult integration problems. A special dedicated section has been added to
cover the challenges and technology solutions for the small eVTOL and full-scale AAM applications. Also, while we refer to the
basic tenets of feedback control theory, our focus in this course is on reducing the theoretical methods of aircraft and rotorcraft
flight control to design practice for students and working-level engineers.

KEY TOPICS
• Present our extensive experience and lessons learned into a single comprehensive
and practical short course for academia and working-level flight control engineers.
• Review of best practices in the selection of handling qualities and flight control
specifications, simulation modeling and fidelity assessment, and flight control
design and analysis methods.
• Demonstrate how flight dynamics and control theory is brought to practice by
reviewing many historical aircraft and rotorcraft piloted and UAV flight control
design case studies and lessons learned.
• Step-by-step presentation of multi-objective parametric optimization design using
Feasible Sequential Quadratic Programming (FSQP), with a focus on how to apply
this method to real-world flight control design problems.
• Special challenges, methods, and recent results for military high-speed rotorcraft, UAV, and eVTOL applications to AAM and
package delivery.
• Demonstrate the optimization of a wide range of classical and modern control design methods (PID, model following,
dynamic inverse, LQR, H-infinity) to meet a common set of design requirements using the multi-objective parametric
optimization method and compare the resulting performance and robustness.
• Hands-on exercises by the students on aircraft and rotorcraft flight control examples using CONDUIT® to reinforce methods
and get real-time experience with software and see the results.
