Abstract
This study addresses the design of an output-feedback H-infinity and fuzzy mixed controller for an advanced vertical and/or short take-off and landing aircraft that exhibits satisfactory global stability criteria. A fuzzy logic based optimization approach is employed to solve autonomously the constrained control allocation problem by suitably adjusting the components of the output vector and finding a proper vector in the attainable moment set. Simulations show that the designed fuzzy controller is better suited to resist external disturbances, and is robust against parameter perturbations.
