Tustin Pilot Model

Tustin’s dynamic model describing pilot behaviour.

tustin pilot model

Description

The Tustin Pilot Model block implements a dynamic model of pilot behaviour in the form of an isodromic link with a lag link:

п

where

  • - pilot gain;

  • - pilot’s time constant, s;

  • - pilot’s lag constant characterising his neuromuscular system, s.

Ports

Input

x com - command signal
scalar

The command signal to which the pilot responds.

Data types: Float64.

x - pilot controlled signal
scalar

A signal controlled by the pilot.

Data types: Float64.

Output

u - signal from pilot
scalar

Command signal from the pilot.

Data types: Float64.

Parameters

Pilot gain - pilot gain factor
1.0 (by default) | scalar

Pilot gain.

Pilot time delay(s) - pilot lag constant
0.1 (by default) | scalar

Pilot time delay constant, s. Usually the value ranges from 0.1 s to 0.2 s.

Pilot lead constant - pilot lead time constant
5.0 (by default) | scalar

Isodromic link time constant, s.
