A multiple objective optimization approach to aircraft control systems design

Abstract

The design of an aircraft lateral control system, subject to several performance criteria and constraints, is considered. While in the previous studies of the same model a single criterion optimization, with other performance requirements expressed as constraints, has been pursued, the current approach involves a multiple criteria optimization. In particular, a Pareto Optimal solution is sought. To the best of the authors' knowledge, this approach has not been reported in the previous literature, while applied to the class of problems under consideration.
