Abstract
This paper is concerned with the problem of optimizing aircraft parameters such as the size of its control surfaces, while meeting closed-loop dynamic performance requirements that are formulated as an optimization problem with matrix inequality constraints. New necessary and sufficient conditions for the solvability of the problem are obtained by introducing extra auxiliary variables. Iterative LMI-based algorithms are developed and applied to the redesign of horizontal tail and spoiler for the F-4.
