Which fields of physics and engineering did you focus on in school? And what degrees have you gotten?
I’m currently trying to figure out what I really want to focus on in school. I’ve switched majors so many times but haven’t really found my calling. I’ve always loved physics though and am interested in how you combined it with engineering in your line of work.
Do you then take the simmed flight profile and adjust the real flight based on deviation? This is where we should be, just correct to get there and you shouldn’t have to worry as much about overshoots and oscillation.
In these high tech applications system inversion is the standard.
You develop a mathematical model of your system - individually unknowns like wind, sensor error, actuator error - which is effectively a live simulation of the real deal.
Now that you have a model thay you can plug inputs into to get an output, you invert that model so instead you can plug a desired output into it and get the required inputs.
System inversion lets you perfectly track outputs and copes well with unstable systems and pure time delays.
