Abstract:

The paper studies the ν-gap metric method by analyzing the shortcomings of the traditional clearance methods. On the basis of introduction of the generalized stability margin and its correlation concepts, the paper presents the definitions, characteristics, properties of the ν-gap metric and computing the approximate perturbation model, and then puts forward the process to clearance of flight control laws (FCLs). At last, the ν-gap metric is applied to the clearance of a FCL.
