Abstract

In this paper the problem of automatic landing of a fixed-wing aircraft with constrained nonlinear model predictive control (NMPC) is addressed. A parallel computable NMPC scheme based on time-domain optimization is used that allows for implementation on Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs). It is shown how a nonlinear 3d kinematics model with two control inputs (roll and pitch rate) can be used as a plant model. The control inputs are quantized and discretized and for this case controllability and stability is analyzed. An interpolating NMPC scheme is introduced that allows to reach precisely a commanded final position and attitude. In this scheme, flight mechanical constraints and obstacles are considered. This enables automatic landing with a commanded reference point, runway heading, glide path angle, and wings level. Simulations with a nonlinear 6 degrees of freedom simulation model show the applicability of the approach. Realtime testbed results demonstrate the parallel implementability on a low-power and low-weight FPGA based onboard computer.
