Abstract

The problem of control of the aircraft attitude in a three-dimensional space is considered. The attitude is described by the Euler angles between the axes of the body-fixed coordinate system and the Earth frame. A method of calculating the torque driving the aircraft to a prescribed attitude is proposed. A controller implementing this method is presented. Results of simulations are reported.
