Abstract

<p>This report describes a study of the application of optimal control techniques based on a generalized performance index to the primary control system design of an X-15-type aircraft and a large flexible booster.</p>

<p>The following aspects of the application of optimal theory were studied:</p>

<p>1. The use of mathematical models to obtain desirable transient characteristics.</p>

<p>2. Realizability of feedback configurations.</p>

<p>3. A comparison between optimal and conventional design techniques.</p>

<p>4. Relationships between the weighting factors of the perfomance index and the dynamics of the optimal system.</p>

<p>5. The use of an IBM 7090 program to obtain optimal solutions of the control problems</p>
