Detailed Description

Total Energy (speed + height) control for fixed wing vehicles.

Energy:

$\begin{eqnarray*} E &=& mgh + \frac{1}{2}mV^2 \\ \frac{\dot{E}}{V} &=& \left(\gamma + \frac{\dot{V}}{g}\right) W \end{eqnarray*}$

Equilibrium:

$\frac{\dot{V}}{g} = \frac{\mbox{Thrust}}{W} - \frac{\mbox{Drag}}{W} - \sin(\gamma)$

with:

$\frac{\mbox{Drag}}{\mbox{Weight}} = \left(\frac{C_l}{C_d}\right)^{-1}$

glide angle: $\dot{V}=0, T=0 \rightarrow \gamma = \frac{C_d}{C_l}$
level flight: $\dot{V}=0, \gamma=0 \rightarrow \frac{W}{T} = \frac{C_l}{C_d}$

Strategy:

thrust = path + acceleration[g] (total energy)
pitch = path - acceleration[g] (energy balance)

Pseudo-Control Unit = dimensionless acceleration [g]

- pitch <-> pseudocontrol:    sin(Theta) steers Vdot in [g]
- throttle <-> pseudocontrol: motor characteristic as function of V x throttle steeds VDot
