MINIMUM-TIME FORMATION USING OPTIMAL SOLUTIONS OF SINGLE FIXED-WING AIRCRAFT
H. Fukumoto¹, S. Ueno¹; ¹Yokohama National University, Japan
Minimum-time formation problem which has the different start time of each fixed-wing aircraft is considered. This problem is defined as optimal control problem by treating the multi aircraft as one system. However it is solved by each aircraft with small communication. The method is based on solutions for optimal control problem of single aircraft.
