Fault tolerant flight control system for an aircraft.

Design of Fault Tolerant Flight Control System

The purpose of the paper is to present an approach to detect, isolate and accommodate the sensor or actuator faults using bank of observer and unknown input observers (UIO). Full order observers, reduced order observers, unknown input observers and Kalman Filter are widely used in state estimations [1]. After the estimation of states, fault detection and isolation can be provided by conducting ...

Fault-tolerant Flight Control System Using Model Predictive Control

This work presents a fault-tolerant flight control system using model predictive control (MPC). The proposed technique, named feasible target-tracking MPC, filters the reference demand to guarantee feasibility of the constrained optimization. This architecture is also capable of redistributing, in a stable manner, the control efforts among healthy actuators, respecting their limitations. A traj...

An Application of Relational Algebra: Specification of a Fault Tolerant Flight Control System

This paper discusses a case study where we use relations to represent the requirements of a fault tolerant flight control system. This task is part of a larger research project, carried out on behalf of Dryden Flight Research Center, whose purpose is to investigate the certification of an adaptive flight control system that is fault tolerant with respect to sensor faults. We find that relations...
