Abstract

The present work is related to the design of the control surfaces actuation system that has been installed on a wind tunnel aeroelastic model within the GLAMOUR project. Such a scaled aircraft is equipped with two ailerons and an elevator, used to alleviate vertical gust loads. A control scheme, based on PID regulators, is taken into consideration, thanks to its simplicity. It was tuned through two different methodologies: an unfalsified frequency-based optimization and a Quantitative Feedback Theory (QFT) approach. Numerical results are presented, comparing the adopted methodologies, considering both simple input signals and realistic command profiles.
