In this paper, a two-loop fault-tolerant attitude control scheme is proposed for flying-wing aircraft with actuator faults. A regular nonlinear dynamic inversion (NDI) control is used in the outer attitude loop, and a finite time convergence incremental nonlinear dynamic inversion (FINDI) control combined with control allocation strategy is used in the inner angular rate loop. Prescribed performance bound (PPB) is designed to constrain the tracking errors within a residual set, so the prescribed system performance can be guaranteed. An optimal anti-windup (AW) compensator is introduced to solve the actuator saturation problem. Simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach.

Nonlinear Dynamic Inversion

Recently, the concept of incremental nonlinear dynamic inversion has seen an increasing adoption as an attitude control method for a variety of aircraft configurations. The reasons for this are good stability and robustness properties, moderate computation requirements and low requirements on modelling fidelity. While previous work investigated the robust stability properties of incremental nonlinear dynamic inversion, the actual closed-loop performance may degrade severely in the face of model uncertainty. We address this issue by first analysing the effects of modelling errors on the closed-loop performance by observing the movement of the system poles. Based on this, we analyse the neccessary modelling fidelity and propose simple modelling methods for the usual actuators found on small-scale electric aircraft. Finally, we analyse the actuator models using (flight) test data where possible.

In this paper, we present a novel concept for robustly controlling the attitude of tiltwing aircraft. Our main contribution is the introduction of a wing-fixed coordinate system for angular acceleration control, which forms the basis of a simple and robust attitude controller. Using the wing-fixed coordinate system allows us to describe the actuator effectivity using simple approximations based on the current operating conditions of the aircraft. Coupled with a robust angular rate control concept, which does not rely on an accurate aerodynamic model, we present a controller stabilizing the entire flight envelope of a tiltwing aircraft. The underlying angular acceleration controller uses the concept of Incremental Nonlinear Dynamic Inversion (INDI) to achieve robustness against aerodynamic uncertainties. The resulting controller is evaluated in both simulation studies and flight tests.
