A decoupling method for flight control is presented that greatly simplifies the controller design. By approximating the higher order derivatives of the angle of attack and sideslip, it enables a rotation controller and a speed controller to be derived independently of each other, and thus gives access to a vast number of controller solutions derived for general classes of rotational and translational ...

This article presents the multi-loop digital controller design of a quasi-z-source inverter (qZSI). The qZSI is a single-stage power converter and can operate in buck and boost modes. The qZSI is an economical solution for distributed generation and eliminates the need for two-stage power conversion. This article proposes a detailed step-wise digital controller design using a multi-loop control ...

This paper presents a review of recent results in the field of dual quaternion based motion control. In addition, we derive two control laws for trajectory tracking control of a fully actuated rigid-body based on the resemblance of dual quaternion kinematics and dynamics to the quaternion based rotational kinematics and dynamics. A velocity error sliding surface and an integrator backstepping ...
