Unified Theory for Aircraft Handling Qualities and Adverse Aircraft-Pilot Coupling
TL;DR: In this article, a unified theory for aircraft handling qualities and adverse aircraft-pilot coupling or pilot-induced oscillations is introduced, based on a structural model of the human pilot.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sliding Mode Control Applied to Reconfigurable Flight Control Design
Ronald A. Hess,S. R. Wells +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors apply sliding mode control to the design of a flight control system capable of operating with limited bandwidth actuators and in the presence of significant damage to the airframe and/or control effector actuators.
Journal ArticleDOI
A Model of Driver Steering Control Behavior for Use in Assessing Vehicle Handling Qualities
A. Modjtahedzadeh,Ronald A. Hess +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, an analytical technique for vehicle handling qualities assessment is briefly discussed, along with a driver/vehicle steering model that contains both preview and compensatory steering dynamics and is used to evaluate the overall validity of the model.
