Development of a quasi-linear parameter varying model for a tiltrotor aircraft

Abstract The research presented in this paper focuses on the development of a quasi-Linear Parameter Varying (qLPV) model for XV-15 tiltrotor aircraft. specific category qLPV modeling technique, known as stitching is employed to time-varying dynamics aircraft over entire flight envelope. In approach, discrete linear state-space models are interpolated through lookup tables function scheduling parameters with implementation nonlinear equations motion. configured four parameters: altitude, nacelle incidence angle, wing flap angle and velocity. Additionally, computational complexity analysis presented. particular, sensitivity number states demonstrated. This done show feasibility real-time increasing fidelity (number states) expanding dynamic envelope parameters).
