Advanced Distributed Flight Control System Architecture with Prognosis for High Performance Fighter Aircraft
نویسندگان
چکیده
There is a constant demand for improved performance of fighter aircraft as there is a rapid change in threat scenario. There is need for advanced flight control system to meet this demand for providing improved performance with ease of maintenance. This paper brings out the advanced distributed digital flight control system with built in prognosis features. It also compares the architectural features with traditional centralized flight control system. This also brings out system level prognosis implementation strategies and leading to improved platform/system safety.

The feasibility of using a stand alone Fluidic Thrust-Vectoring (FTV) system for the purpose of longitudinal trim of an unmanned aerial vehicle is the focus of the research presented in this paper. Since the fluidic thrust vectoring requires high pressure secondary air to deflect the engine exhaust gases, this research also provides an analytical toolset for preliminary sizing of a suitable sec...
