The Research on Height Control of Airship with Constant Flying Speed

Abstract

The PID control scheme of airship with fixed flying high is studied in allusion to pitch channel nonlinear model of a class of stratosphere airship in this paper. The traditional PID control law is designed aim at the fixed high flight control of airship. The detailed simulation analysis is presented. It indicates that the airship can realize the fixed high flight in the range of 1000 meters. When flying high increase further, PID control scheme is not reasonable because instruction is too large. At the same time, the speed of engine has large influence on PID control scheme. The research of paper has good technical reference value for design and experiments of stratosphere airship.
