This article presents the time optimal control system adopted to control double winding VCM motor. This kind of control is widely used in hard disk drive servo for head positioning. Mathematical model of double winding VCM motor is presented, and its implementation in MATLAB/Simulink is shown. The extended time optimal control algorithm is implemented on dSpace DS1104 board. The results obtained from simulation and real measurements are compared and discussed.

This paper proposes a finite-time horizon suboptimal control strategy based on statedependent Riccati equation (SDRE) to control of F16 multirole aircraft. Flight stabilizer control of super maneuverable aircraft is modelled and simulated. For aircraft modelling purpose a full 6 DOF model is considered and described by nonlinear state-space approach. Also a stable state-dependent parametrization (SDP) necessary for solution of the SDRE control problem is proposed. Solution of the SDRE control problem with adequate defined weighting matrices in performance index shows possibility of fast and optimal aircraft control in finite-time. The method in this form can be used for stabilization of aircraft flight and aerodynamics.
