Improved Aircraft Performance using Simple Pitch Control

Stability and control are composite for an aircraft. Three basic control movements of the aircraft are Pitch, Roll and Yaw where Pitch enables a plane to descend or climb. The pitching movement control is paramount to ensure the stability of the aircraft and intrinsic safety of passengers. This paper intends to explore few control schemes for the aircraft pitch control system. Conventional PID controller and Fuzzy tuned PID are probed and interpreted through the simulation results obtained using MATLAB. The qualified assessment of aforesaid methods based on time response specifications is cited in the paper. Further the robustness analysis has also been included. The results from the proposed control have been giving improved performance of aircraft, in comparison to methods from literature.
