1 Ahmad M. Ibrahim, DeVry Institute of Technology, Mississauga, Toronto, Ontario, Canada L5R 3W3, [email protected] Abstract  In recent years distance education gained increased attention because of the advances in communication technology. As the number of institutions offering Internet-based distance education increases, it becomes a pressing task to evaluate, compare, and judge the quality of t...

Aircraft System Identification using Integrated Software Tools

1. SUMMARY System identification is a complicated, multi-step process requiring considerable expertise to perform. In a traditional flight test program, the elapsed time from flying the aircraft and gathering data until the simulation is updated can be months or even years. The primary reasons behind the long times between flight test and simulation update are the labor-intensive processes of d...

Aircraft Accident Prevention: Loss-of-Control Analysis

The majority of fatal aircraft accidents are associated with ‘loss-of-control’. Yet the notion of loss-of-control is not well-defined in terms suitable for rigorous control systems analysis. Loss-of-control is generally associated with flight outside of the normal flight envelope, with nonlinear influences, and with an inability of the pilot to control the aircraft. The two primary sources of n...
