Modeling and Control for Triadic Compound Controlled Flying Saucer

The flying saucer is an unconventional flying vehicle. The thrust-vectoring/moving-mass compound control system applied to it has good flight control performance, but also has demerits. In order to overcome the demerits, the thrust-vectoring/direct-force/moving-mass triadic compound control system is proposed, and the triadic compound controlled flying saucer is modeled. According to the longitudinal movement assumption, the fuzzy controller and control distribution rule are designed for the pitching angle tracking loop. The simulation results show that the design can take advantage of the compounding superiority of all the control subsystems and has preferable flight control performance.
