Altitude Hold Autopilot
Project type
Simulation
Date
August 2023
Location
Dallas, Texas
Role
Control Systems Engineer
Tools
MATLAB / Simulink
Control Method
Proportional Control
Focus Area
Aircraft Stability & Altitude Regulation
Designed and implemented an altitude hold autopilot system in Simulink using a state-space model of an aircraft. Angle of attack and pitch feedback were incorporated for stability augmentation, with proportional control applied to regulate altitude. The controller gain was tuned using pole placement in SISO Tool, meeting targeted criteria for steady-state time and percentage overshoot under nominal conditions.
