“…For each failure emulation, each pilot was asked to provide Cooper-Harper Ratings (CHR) for a series of flight tasks, which included large amplitude attitude capture tasks and cross-wind approach and landing tasks. Seven adaptive control methods were selected for the piloted study that include e-modification (Narendra & Annaswamy, 1987), hybrid adaptive control (Nguyen et al, 2006), optimal control modification (Nguyen et al, 2008), metric-driven adaptive control using bounded linear stability method (Nguyen et al, 2007), L 1 adaptive control (Cao & Hovakimyan, 2008), adaptive loop recovery , and composite adaptive control (Lavretsky, 2009). This is by no means an exhaustive list of new advanced adaptive control methods that have been developed in the past few years, but this list provides an The study generally confirms that adaptive control can clearly provide significant benefits to improve aircraft flight control performance in adverse flight conditions.…”
