Flight Dynamics and Hybrid Adaptive Control of Damaged Aircraft

TL;DR: In this paper, a neural network hybrid direct-indirect adaptive flight control is developed for the stability augmentation control of the damaged aircraft. But, this approach is limited to a single aircraft.
Proceedings ArticleDOI

Dynamics and Adaptive Control for Stability Recovery of Damaged Asymmetric Aircraft

TL;DR: A preliminary simulation of the hybrid adaptive flight control has been performed and initial data have shown the effectiveness of the proposed hybrid approach, which is an adaptive law derived from the Lyapunov stability theory for stabilizing the rotational motion of the damaged aircraft.
Proceedings ArticleDOI

A Mission-Adaptive Variable Camber Flap Control System to Optimize High Lift and Cruise Lift-to-Drag Ratios of Future N+3 Transport Aircraft

TL;DR: The VCCTEF program is developing better lift and drag performance of flexible wing transports with the further benefits of lighter-weight actuation and less drag using the variable camber shape of the flap.
Proceedings ArticleDOI

An Optimal Control Modification to Model-Reference Adaptive Control for Fast Adaptation

TL;DR: In this paper, a method that can achieve fast adaptation for a class of model-reference adaptive control is presented, based on the minimization of the squares of the tracking error, which is formulated as an optimal control problem.
