Design of a model following, state variable feedback controller for the X-14 VTOL aircraftA model-following, state variable feedback controller is designed for the roll axis of the X-14. The approach is to define a criterion on roll axis performance and to find the gradient of this criterion in the space of parameters (the feedback gains) of the controller. The gradient is then used in a conjungate gradient descent sequence to numerically optimize the parameters.
