Transition vehicles which combine vertical take off and landing with cruise configurations pose a unique challenge for control design and implementation. For this class of vehicle, successful control designs have historically broken the flight envelope into phases and modified the control approach for each phase. This research approaches control in a unified way across the entire envelope using a robust optimal design which provides effector weighting then implemented in a generalized Affine Generalized Inverse control allocation algorithm. System performance for a Lift plus Cruise transition vehicle is presented.
