Flight Control Reconfiguration based on a Modular Approac

Fault Tolerant Flight Control, a Physical Model Approach

“…Two additional interesting quantities to investigate are the throttle setting and the average square innovation, which triggers the re-identification routine as explained in ref. Lombaerts et al (2009;2010a). Figure 17(a) confirms that the throttle setting does not saturate, however the remaining control margins in order to remain inside the safe flight envelope are severely restricted.…”

A Benchmark for Fault Tolerant Flight Control Evaluation

“…8). Part of the FTFC strategies that were evaluated in the piloted simulation campaign consisted of a combination of real-time aerodynamic model identi¦cation and adaptive nonlinear dynamic inversion for control allocation and recon¦guration [1,2]. The simulation results have shown that the handling qualities of the recon¦gured damaged aircraft with a fault tolerant control system degrade less, indicating improved task performance.…”

Modelling and fault tolerant control for near space vehicles with vertical tail loss

“…Boškvić and Mehra [2] propose an intelligent adaptive reconfigurable control scheme for a tailless advanced fighter aircraft in the presence of wing damage. What is more, Lombaerts et al have made many contributions on damaged aircraft model identification and control, such as [3][4][5]. Tao and his team also have rich research aiming at damage aircraft model [6,7].…”

“…Recently, more and more research results are presented in the field of fault-tolerant control . Specially, more researchers are interested in aircraft structural damage of the flight control system in view of its critical influence on flight state's stability and reliability, such as [1][2][3][4][5] and the references therein. Li and Liu [1] investigate a passive faulttolerant control to aircraft that suffers from the vertical tail damage.…”
