  5. 4. Real-time Trajectory Optimization for Terrain Following Based on Non-linear Model Predictive Control

    University essay from Institutionen för systemteknik

    Author : Cecilia Flood; [2001]
    Keywords : Reglerteknik; Model Predrictive Control; MPC; Non-linear Systems; Terrain Following; Trajectory Optimization; Reglerteknik;

    Abstract : There are occasions when it is preferable that an aircraft flies asclose to the ground as possible. It is difficult for a pilot to predict the topography when he cannot see beyond the next hill, and this makes it hard for him to find the optimal flight trajectory. READ MORE
