Clearance of Flight Control Laws for Time-Varying Parameters

In this article exponential stability of the closed loop for the Saab AB VEGAS model controlled by a gain-scheduled linear fractional transformation controller is investigated for time-varying Mach-number. The analysis is based on parameter-dependent Lyapunov-functions which are obtained by investigating feasibility of linear matrix inequalities.
