DOI: 10.2514/1.53825 Traditional extremum seeking depends on adding a perturbation to the control input, but it is untenable to continuously perturb the throttle in a controller meant to minimize fuel consumption. Inspired by a recent application of extremum seeking to a fusion reactor where internal nonperiodic perturbations were employed in the seeking process, a novel variant of extremum seeking is proposed that uses naturally occurring stochastic disturbances in lieu of the traditionally added perturbation signal. Relying on airspeed perturbations from atmospheric turbulence to reveal the local slope of the drag curve, the scheme induces a gradient descent to the minimum drag speed. Using stochastic averaging, it is proven analytically that the extremum-seeking controller stabilizesairspeedtotheminimumdragspeed,withanaverageoffsetproportionaltothethirdderivativeofthedrag curve and the variance of the airspeed. Brief simulation results illustrate the performance of the algorithm.
