Abstract

In
this study, using dynamic model of passive and active morphing featured
Tactical Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (TUAV) called as ZANKA III which is produced
in Erciyes University, Faculty of Aeronautics and Astronautics, Model Aircraft
Laboratory, under the TUBITAK ARDEB 1001 program and designing Output
Constrained Variance Controller for aircraft tracking the desired trajectory
achieved with minimal vibration and minimum energy consumption. For this
purpose, using MATLAB, in the simulation environment, studies have been
performed and closed loop responses have been obtained. Longitudinal motion is
in primary interest, desired output is pitching angle of TUAV, and desired
input is elevator angle.
