Abstract

In this paper we present classical PID controller approach in designing longitudinal Stability Augmentation System and pitch attitude control (SCAS) at nonlinear flight region for a high fidelity F-16 model including aerodynamic uncertainty. In high angle of attack, nonlinear effects of aerodynamic coefficients and atmospheric turbulence are the main challenge in designing and robustness of flight control system. A design scenario that combines deadbeat response and robust control (aerodynamic uncertainties and atmospheric turbulence) is presented. Simulation results show that the designed PI controller exhibits robustness property to system uncertainties.
