Online Approximators for the Actuators Fdi of a Small Commercial Aircraft

چکیده
In this paper the problem of detecting and isolating faults on the actuators of a small commercial aircraft using online approximators is dealt with. In particular the capabilities of radial basis neural networks to approximate faults on the engines and elevators of an AP-68 Vulcanair commercial aircraft are investigated also in the presence of model uncertainties and external disturbances. The structure of the aircraft and of the fault models appears to be well suited for this kind of application. Although some effort has to be spent in tuning a certain number of parameters, the numerical results obtained on a full nonlinear MatlabSimulink simulator of the aircraft seem to be encouraging.

An analysis was conducted to examine the market visibility of small aircraft as a transportation mode in competition with automobile and scheduled commercial air travel by estimating the pool of users that would potentially switch on-demand air travel due to cost/time saving. These new aircraft greatly increase the practicality of regional aircraft as a transportation mode that can avoid the co...

Fault detection and isolation (FDI) logic plays a crucial role in enhancing the safety and reliability, and reducing the operating cost of aircraft propulsion systems. However, it is a challenging problem achieving the FDI task with high reliability. For this purpose, various approaches have been proposed in the literature. In an on-line engine fault diagnoses, two tasks may use Kalman filter t...

Control actuators' faults are among the major reasons to lose aircraft control while flights. The plane dynamics is severely dependent upon faults and errors in flight control systems and if the reformed control order is not issued by the fault tolerant controller there would be unpleasant outcomes such as inconsistency and the reduction of system performance and some dreadful aerial accide...
