This is my final project for MAE 4780: Feedback Controls. This repo contains a 3DOF (two planar coordinates, one rotational coordinate) simulation of a thrust vectoring vehicle. This repo contains the Simulink dynamics model, a Matlab file with mass properties and my final report.
The translational dynamics was modeled by Newton's Second Law, and the attitude dynamics was modeled by T=Ia. The control scheme is full state feedback that was designed via pole placement and linearizing the dynamics around a hover. The true state measurements were corrupted with gaussian noise then passed to an Extended Kalman Filter. In addition a saturation block was added to cap the thrust and the thrust vector angle.
The vehicle attempts to follow a reference trajectory that contains an ascent, translation, then landing.
