%X This paper presents analysis and design of a family of controllers based on numerical convex optimization for an aircraft pitch control system. A design method is proposed here to solve control system design problems in which a set of multiple closed loop performance specifications are simultaneously satisfied. The transfer matrix of the system is determined through the convex combination of the transfer matrices of the plant and the controllers. The present system with optimal convex controller has been tested for stability using KharitonovĄ¯s Stability Criteria. The simulation deals here withthe problem of pitch control system of a BRAVO fighter aircraft which results in higher order close loop transfer function. So the order of the higher order transfer function is reduced to minimize the complexity of the system.
