The current aviation revolution towards electric propulsion aircraft (e.g., electric vertical takeoff-and-landing) brings unique control challenges. These vehicles are typically over-actuated (more effectors than desired control outcomes), may require control strategies for the three phases of flight (hover, transition and cruise), and currently have limited electric power availability. These vehicle challenges bring the need for optimal control allocation to the forefront of research. A leading control allocation algorithm, used in current flight vehicles, is the Cascading Generalized Inverse (CGI). Unfortunately, the Cascading Generalized Inverse algorithm is unable to achieve some desired outcomes, it intermittently provides non-optimal allocations, and it may fail to preserve moment direction near maximal achievable outcomes. In this research, the shortcomings of the Cascading Generalized Inverse algorithm are addressed by augmenting the algorithm with Scalar Difference Quadratic unsaturation identification and location at each iteration. Rigorous theory is shown that the Modified Cascading Generalized Inverse performs better at obtaining optimal allocations for all attainable outcomes. Numerical case studies for over-actuated vehicles demonstrate resolution to the aforementioned deficiencies.
