Chapter Five: Flight maneuver reachable sets

Abstract

An application of the differential inclusion solver to a flight dynamics model is discussed. Ordinary differential equations are the main mathematical tool in flight simulation. However, in many situations this is not the best way to solve problems. In robust flight control design, safety, missile and aircraft guidance, analysis of the influence of perturbations, and pursuit–evasion problems, more versatile tools are needed. A differential inclusion is a generalization of a differential equation and can be extremely useful. The solution to a differential inclusion is the reachable set, and not just a model trajectory or a set of trajectories obtained by randomization of the original problem. ...
