In the past two years, an autonomous airship was developed at our department as a flying sensor platform. Our main research areas during this period were navigation, modelling and automatic control of the airship. In this article, we present a gain-scheduled LQR control design for the airship. First, the mathematical model of the system and its linearization will be introduced. After that, we split the linearized system in a lateral and a longitudinal subsystem. With the combined gain-scheduled controlled subsystems, a high-level navigation system allows the airship to follow an appropriate flight trajectory.
