Computation of Worst-case Pilot Inputs for Clearance of Flight Control Laws
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, global optimisation and nonlinear simulation are used to search for the worst-case control demands which may be input by a pilot flying a modern high performance aircraft with a full authority flight control law. The flexibility of global optimisation is exploited to simultaneously search for worst-case pilot inputs and worst-case combinations of uncertain parameters in the nonlinear aircraft model. The importance of explicitly considering uncertainty in the aircraft model is clearly demonstrated by the results obtained. Copyright IFAC 2005

Worst-case Analysis of Flight Control Laws for Re-entry Vehicles
This paper reports results of a joint study between ESA, DEIMOS Space S.L. and the University of Leicester on the robustness analysis of flight control laws for future hypersonic re-entry vehicles. We apply a novel hybridised version of the deterministic global optimisation algorithm, DIviding RECTangles (DIRECT), to perform worst-case analysis of a nonlinear-dynamic inversion (NDI) flight cont...
متن کاملFlight Control Law Clearance Using Worst-case Inputs
This study explores the effectiveness of applying optimal control techniques to the flight control law clearance problem, which is the challenge of ensuring the safety of an aircraft’s flight control system for all allowable inputs. The main criteria chosen were the angle-ofattack limit exceeding criterion in the longitudinal plane, and the angle-of-sideslip limit exceeding criterion in the lat...
متن کاملClearance of the Vaac Harrier Cl002 Flight Control Law Using -analysis Techniques
We describe some new tools for the clearance of flight control laws for highly augmented aircraft. The tools are developed from general -analysis methods, and are applied to the clearance of a flight control law for a vertical/short take-off and landing aircraft. Stability robustness analysis results for the flight control law are presented in terms of the standard clearance criteria currently ...
متن کامل8 The HIRM + Flight Dynamics Model
The major objective of the GARTEUR Action Group on Analysis Techniques for Clearance of Flight Control Laws FM(AG-11) is the improvement of the flight clearance process by increased automation of the tools used for modelbased analysis of the aircraft’s dynamical behaviour. What is finally needed are techniques for faster detection of the worst case combination of parameter values and manoeuvre ...
متن کاملA Control Method Based on Dynamic Response of the Airplane for Compensation of Pilot-Induced Oscillations: Benefits and Flaws
Pilot-Induced Oscillation (PIO) is an unwanted, inadvertent phenomenon that has the ability to damage the aircraft completely. This paper suggests a novel control method that can damp PIO after predicting its occurrence. The specific point of this control algorithm is that it contains a preprocessor that will not let the controller be activated unless in the case of probable PIOs, so pilot comm...
