The local controller is an (fairly aggressive) LQR state feedback while the (semi-)global controller is a much less aggressive LQR state feedback. Closed-loop simulation results are provided using a fully nonlinear model of the ducted fan derived from wind tunnel data. Experimental results are also provided using the actual Caltech ducted fan.
