Abstract
Vacuum altitude simulator (VAS) is the key component of the hardware in the loop simulation (HILS) of the aircraft control system. Due to the compressibility of the air and the nonlinearity of the exhaust capacity of the vacuum pump, it is difficult to get a good performance with normal linear controller. In this paper, the nonlinear mathematical model of the system is established. A feedback linearization controller is developed based on the model. To handle the uncertain nonlinear dynamics, the integral control is introduced. Experiments indicate that the proposed controller can effectively improve the stability and the dynamic response of the system.
