Parameter‐dependent control techniques are applied to a thrust vectored ducted fan engine. The synthesis technique is based on the solution of linear matrix inequalities and produces a controller which achieves specified performance against the worst‐case time variation of measurable parameters entering the plant in a linear fractional manner. Thus the plant can have widely varying dynamics over the operating range. The controller designed performs extremely well, and is compared with other controllers.
