Popovich, N2019-10-132019-10-132018-12-282018-12-28SEEK Digital Library, Volume 8: Issue 22250-3765https://hdl.handle.net/10292/12904In this paper, a state space mathematical model of the Boeing 747 was defined, particularly for the lateral aircraft motions. A dynamical behavior of the model has been analized through numerical and graph-analytical methods. A Pole-placement approach of designing the control system was applied. A minimum-observer state based feedback controller was discussed. The whole model was developed by using Matlab and simulated by Simulink. A full-order observer was proposed because of its less sensitivity on measurement errors than the minimum-order (or reduced-order) observer (or state estimator). In the extreme cases, where the output noise is a significant problem, then an application of Kalman filter was suggested.IRED is committed to Open Access as a successful method of publishing important scholarly work that serves the needs and ambitions of researchers, institutions and general society.Boeing 747; Course keeping control; Poleplacement; Minimum-order observer; State controller; Matlab; SimulinkJournal ArticleOpenAccess
