To achieve a high performance level during ground operations, the lateral dynamics of an aircraft must be controlled using all available actuators (rudder, nose wheel steering system and brakes), which gives rise to a challenging allocation problem. After an extensive literature review and evaluation of the most promising techniques, a novel and easily implementable control allocation technique is developed, which meets actuator and implementation constraints. It automatically manages the trade-off between minimizing actuator use and attaining the maximum virtual control. It is tested on a realistic on-ground aircraft model, which has been previously validated against a high-fidelity Airbus simulator. |
