Carrier-based aircraft approach power compensator system design based on L1 adaptive controller

In this paper, we present a Carrier-Based Aircraft Approach Power Compensator System based on L
₁
adaptive controller. A nonlinear dynamic inversion controller serves as the baseline controller for this architecture as command inputs. Then the baseline controller is augmented with an L
₁
adaptive controller to cancel out the uncertainties. The main advantage of the new approach is its ability of fast adaptation that leads to uniform transient performance for the system's signals, both inputs and outputs, simultaneously, with guaranteed performance specifications. Simulation results verify the benefit of this new approach.
