We present a direct data driven model reference control framework for flight simulation table from both the theoretical analysis and engineering application. Sate of the art direct driven model reference control designs the unknown controller based on the input-output data and guarantees the actual model converge to the reference model, under a case of no any priori knowledge for the unknown plant. We improve this direct data driven model reference control strategy by considering its stability validation and synthesis analysis for nonlinear controller. The resulting direct data driven model reference control scheme can be implemented to ensure flight simulation table rotate accuracy, resulting in improved performance index. As the main technical contribution, we show that the proposed direct data driven model reference control framework also ensures closed loop stability and suitable extension for nonlinear controller.INDEX TERMS Model reference control, direct data driven, flight simulation table, synthesis analysis.
