TLDR
A simulator for improved pilot training based on bifurcation and continuation techniques is presented and a robust control-based loss of control handling module is also presented for developing non-intuitive strategies for Loss of control prevention and recovery.
Abstract
Aircraft loss of control is one of the largest contributors to fatal accidents in the aviation environment. The unprecedented change in aircraft dynamics due to loss of control onset and the associ...
