Gain Scheduling for an Aerospace Launcher With Bending Modes

Abstract An interpolation method with guaranteed stability is first presented. It can be performed with an LTV (Linear Time Varying) system which parametric trajectory is off-line known. An important point of this method is that it can turn into linear interpolation with some special conditions. This is then performed considering an aerospace application. It concerns a non stationary launcher during the atmospheric phase; the control law has to reject any wind disturbance.
