An Optimal Adaptive Flight Control System

Adaptive Quaternion Attitude Control of Aerodynamic Flight Control Vehicles

Conventional quaternion based methods have been extensively employed for spacecraft attitude control where the aerodynamic forces can be neglected. In the presence of aerodynamic forces, the flight attitude control is more complicated due to aerodynamic moments and inertia uncertainties. In this paper, a robust nero-adaptive quat...

Adaptive Flight Control System: Flight Evaluation and Technology Transition

Certification of adaptive control technologies for both manned and unmanned aircraft represent a major challenge for current Verification and Validation techniques. A (missing) key step towards flight certification of adaptive flight control systems is the definition and development of analysis tools and methods to support Verification and Validation for nonlinear systems, similar to the proced...

An optimal control problem for a engineering system

In this article, we apply this new method for solving an engineering systemwith initial and boundary conditions and integral criterion ,and we will usingdynamic programming as iteration for solving model.

Implementation and Flight Test Assessment of an Adaptive, Reconfigurable Flight Control System

During the summer of 1996 a series of ̄ight tests demonstrated a new indirect-adaptive approach to recon®gurable ̄ight control known as the self-designing controller (SDC). The SDC achieves improved, appropriately decoupled responses during arbitrary effector or airframe impairment scenarios, and successful SDC ̄ight tests culminated with smooth landing of the VISTA/F-16 in crosswind conditions...
