The simplification of a high-order, literal model for large flexible aircraft is discussed. Areas of model fidelity that are critical if the model is to be used for control law synthesis are presented. Several simplification techniques, some new and some widely available, that can deliver the necessary model fidelity are presented and applied to a model from the literature. The techniques include both numerical and analytical approaches. An analytical approach, based on first-order sensitivity theory, is shown to lead not only to excellent numerical results, but also to closed-form analytical expressions for key system dynamic properties such as the pole/zero factors of the vehicle transfer-function matrix. The analytical results are expressed in terms of vehicle vibrational characteristics and rigid-body and aeroelastic stability derivatives, thus providing insight into the underlying causes for critical dynamic characteristics.
