Optimal Nonlinear Estimation for Aircraft Flight Control in Wind Shear
نویسندگان
چکیده
The continue-time unscented Kalman filter (UKF) is developed to estimate the state of a jet transport aircraft. The UKF is based on the nonlinear longitudinal aircraft equations of motion, and it is designed to provide estimates of horizontal and vertical atmospheric wind inputs. The optimal state and disturbance estimates are incorporated in feedback control laws based on the slowand fast-time-scale subsystems of the aircraft nonlinear inverse dynamics. The UKF produces accurate estimates, and the resultant flight trajectories are very similar to those obtained with perfect state feedback. The UKF is sensitive to uncertainty in the dynamic model, but much of the lost performance can be restored by treating the uncertainty as a random disturbance input.

Optimal nonlinear control of flight faults in manned aircrafts in the presence of fault and failure of control actuato
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...

Longitudinal wind shear flight control laws are developed for the dynamics of a twin-jet transport aircraft using nonlinear dynamic inversion. Time-scale decomposition simplifies controller design by partitioning it into slow and fast time scales. The effects of time-varying winds are explicitly considered in the derivation of the controllers. Three inverting controllers are developed and evalu...
