| Abstract | The paper presents an application of genetic algorithms to the design of a longitudinal flight controller for a hypersonic accelerator vehicle which is to be used to launch small satellites. A feature of hypersonic air-breathing flight vehicles is the high level of engine integration with the airframe. As a result, maintenance of vehicle attitude is not simply an issue of stability, but also one of propulsive effectiveness, which itself varies with flight conditions and the vehicle attitude. There is therefore limited scope for departure from optimum operating conditions. This, together with the extreme flight conditions, performance uncertainty, and the inherent instability of the vehicle, contributes to a demanding control task. We examine the capacity of a genetic algorithm in designing a fuzzy logic controller for the task of closed loop flight control. With a fixed, preset control structure, the design task is to configure the control surface through selection of the rule consequents and input scaling. The genetic algorithm uses a collection of simulated flight response in its formulation of the objective function. This allows the generation of a controller design without linearization of the vehicle model and dynamics. Stability augmentation is shown through flight simulation at the low-speed end of the hypersonic trajectory and also at a higher flight speed. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
