In vehicle control, control allocation is often used to abstract control variables from actuators,
simplifying controller design and enhancing performance. Surveying available literature …

This paper presents a control algorithm for the parallel interconnection of heterogeneous
power converters. A single resistive load is assumed to be fed by an arbitrary number of …

Existing control allocation approaches usually minimize an L 1 or L 2 norm of the actuator
commands that is loosely related to the thrust produced or the aerodynamic drag. This paper …

DLR is currently investigating the potential of hypersonic flight systems in the context of
different mission scenarios. One configuration type of higher interest for civil and military …

Abstract Hybrid Unmanned Aerial Vehicles UAV are vehicles capable of take-off and landing
vertically like helicopters while maintaining the long-range efficiency of fixed-wing aircraft …

The next generation of aircraft with a large number of effectors will require advanced
methods for control allocation (CA) to compute the effectors' commands needed to follow the …

This paper describes control allocation strategies for a tandem tiltwing electric vertical take-
off and landing (eVTOL) aircraft with distributed propulsion. The control mappings are …

The trim drag of conventional aircraft configurations in cruise flight is in the order of 0–1% of
the total aircraft drag. Blended wing body aircraft typically have multiple redundant flight …

Due to simplicity and real-time capability, the cascaded generalized inverse (CGI) method is
a common control allocation scheme. However, depending on the specific problem, CGI …

In this chapter, we study the influence of the frequency variation of a nonlinear control
allocation technique execution, developed by the author [1], named Fast Control Allocation …
