Abstract In this chapter the block-diagram based generation approach of low order Linear Fractional Representations (LFRs) is applied to the nonlinear controller described in Chapter 2. For this purpose, all individual parameter dependent blocks as well as all nonlinear blocks like saturations or rate limiters are replaced by their LFR counterparts in the block-diagram structure of the controller. Look-up tables are approximated by rational expressions before their replacements. The overall controller LFR is extracted from the resulting block-diagram by a standard linearization technique. The resulting controller LFR is interconnected with the LFRs of the actuators, sensors and of the nonlinear rigid aircraft or linear flexible aircraft generated in Chapters 3 or 4 to obtain the LFRs of the corresponding closed-loop systems. These closed-loop LFRs are used for stability and performance analysis in Chapters 12-16.
