Force control system design for aerodynamic load simulator

Y Nam, SK Hong - Control Engineering Practice, 2002 - Elsevier
A dynamic load simulator which can reproduce on-ground the aerodynamic hinge moment
of control surface is an essential rig for the performance and stability test of an aircraft
actuation system. The hinge moment varies widely over the flight envelope depending on
the specific flight condition and maneuvering status. To replicate the wide spectrum of this
hinge moment variation within some accuracy bounds, a force controller is designed based
on the quantitative feedback theory (QFT). A dynamic model of load actuation system is …
