Tom Sadeghi | Integrated fault tolerant control law
Tom Sadeghi shares information about Integrated fault-tolerant control law This paper gives a progress report for developing an integrated, fault-tolerant control law (IFTCL) which has capability for control reconfiguration and post-stall maneuvering. To integrate these two technologies in an aircraft flight control system is attractive because in post-stall conventional surfaces lose their effectiveness which resembles the aircraft in a conventional flight losing its control surfaces due to battle damage or actuator failure. To develop such a control technique concurrent efforts were initiated. These efforts consisted of developing and evaluating control techniques for IFTCL, modifying a 6DOF high-performance aircraft (HPA) model to have thrust vectoring capability, and laying out guidelines for developing a full-up, nonlinear control law (with transition logic) capable of continuously reconfiguring aircraft effecters for post-stall maneuvers and reconfiguration due to battle d
