A coordinated turn controller for a fixed-wing aircraft

This paper describes the design of a controller for a fixed-wing aircraft to make it perform coordinated turns. First, a state feedback partial linearization controller drives the airplane to carry out an ideal coordinated turn. A second control loop, inspired by the total heading control system technique, mixes the ailerons and rudder inputs to perform a coordinated turn considering the sideslip dynamics. The control design development gives new insights to establish the fundamental basis for the total heading control system. Simulations in an advanced flight simulator (X-Plane 10) are presented to show the closed-loop system behavior.
