Abstract
Aircraft performance and stability may be hindered by undesirable aerodynamic effects such as induced vibrations, buffeting, and flutter. Mitigating these effects via feedback control enables vehicle designs that would otherwise be impractical or impossible. The NASA Benchmark Aerodynamic Control Technology model simulates flutter for control design purposes. Passivity-based control is chosen for its desirable robustness properties and physical motivation. A Fuzzy Gain Scheduling approach is used to achieve improved performance by varying gains with the operating condition. The fuzzy gain schedule is tuned by a Genetic Algorithm.
