Abstract

The presented research work is focused on automatic flight landing control of an aircraft for synthesis of optimal flare phase with considering the dynamic deflection angle as a control parameter. The behavior of the aircraft has considered in terms of four first-order differential equations and an explicit one step Runge Kutta has an order of 4 to 5 has applied to solve that. Computational intelligence based approach; modified adaptive social behavior optimization (mASBO) has applied to estimate the optimum deflection angles on discrete time to deliver the desired flare phase performances. The proposed modification in adaptive social behavior optimization has a better balance between exploration and exploitation by providing a competitive environment for leader selection, in result, faster convergence achieved. Height based on ascent rate controlling function presented here provides an adaptive control mechanism to obtain the desired landing performances in the presence of change in starting landing altitude in compare of predefined reference altitude due to poor visibility or wind disturbance.
