Abstract

Multiobjective optimization techniques are applied in the design of an aircraft lateral control system. A large manned reentry vehicle and a fighter aircraft are considered. An algorithm suggested by Lin's Proper Inequality Constraints method, is implemented in the numerical computation of Pareto-optimal solutions. Subsequently, a trade-off analysis of several Pareto-optimal solutions is conducted.
