Abstract—The paper focuses on automatic control of airplane in longitudinal and lateral-directional planes, during landing, by using the linearized dynamics of airplane and the H-inf control; both planes (longitudinal and lateral-directional) are treated; the new obtained automatic landing system will consist of three subsystems: the first two control airplane’s motion in longitudinal plane, while the third one is used for the control of airplane motion in lateral-directional plane. The theoretical results are validated through numerical simulations for a Boeing 747 airplane.
Index Terms—Landing, autopilot, H-inf control.
