Abstract: In this brief, a decentralized allocator is presented for synthetic jet actuators (SJAs) and control surfaces onboard a small unmanned aerial vehicle to cooperatively generate desired aerodynamic moments. In this brief, the first-order dynamics are assumed for both the SJAs and control surfaces. A weighted consensus algorithm with limited feedback is used for the aerodynamic moment contribution allocator considering constraints. The proposed allocator is validated via simulations.
