High lift control system design for a transport aircraft

Design of a High-Lift System for a Laminar Wing

The design of high-lift (HL) systems represents a challenging task within the aerospace community, due to its multidisciplinary, multi-objective and multi-point nature. Within the paper an additional difficulty is considered, consisting in the design a HL system for a High Aspect Ratio Low Sweep (HARLS) wing, featuring Natural Laminar Flow (NLF) at transonic cruise conditions. In a first “analy...

Designing and Modeling a Control System for Aircraft in the Presence of Wind Disturbance (TECHNICAL NOTE)

This paper proposes a switching adaptive control for trajectory tracking of unmanned aircraft systems. The switching adaptive control method is designed to overcome the wind disturbance and achieve a proper tracking performance for control systems. In the suggested system, the wind disturbance is regarded as a finite set of uncertainties; a controller is designed for each uncertainty, and a per...

The Control Characteristics of Aircraft Direct - Lift Control

Flight Control System Design for Commercial Aircraft Using Neural Networks

This paper describes a neural network based approach for flight control design of commercial aircraft. A neural flight control system is used to actuate the gains of a linear controller for gain scheduling purposes without any explicit system identification. The neural network system uses reference models to specify desired handling qualities. Simulation results demonstrate the good tracking pe...

Hierarchichal Current Control Design For Electromagnetic Aircraft Launching System

This paper describes an approach to hierarchichal modular control for an electromagnetic aircraft launching system for the aircraft carrier of the future. The purposes are to analyze the possibility of improving the control performance using efficient evaluation of switching conditions, and to explore the different options for the basic control design and the way in which these designs will be ...
