Application of a new multivariable controller synthesis approach to nonlinear liquid propellant engines

Application of a new systematic controller synthesis methodology to control nonlinear multivariable and non-autonomous liquid propellant engines is presented. The performance of the resulting control system is analyzed. The systematic controller design procedure is based on the generation of multivariable describing function models of the engine coupled with a new multivariable exact model matching procedure.
