The multivariable robust tracking control problem for aeroengine is considered in this paper. On the basis of the aeroengine nonlinear affine uncertain dynamic model, and according to uncertainty and disturbance estimator (UDE) control approach, a novel aeroengine multivariable robust nonlinear tracking control method is presented in order to provide favorable tracking and disturbance rejection performance. After getting a generalization form of UDE-based aeroengine multivariable controller, a simplification form of control law is obtained when a specified form of low-pass filter is applied. Reference model of the aeroengine system should have satisfying dynamic, thus an optional reference model is provided. Simulation on a twin-shaft aeroengine with two inputs, verifies the effectiveness of the proposed method.
