Have you ever mulled on the question, that why aerospace testing is important? Simply put, aerospace is an exclusive environment. It is so because it's self-contained and cuts through numerous national boundaries round the globe. For this reason, the aerospace environment has got to be sanctioned, approved in agreement between all countries, because an aircraft by its basic nature can't be operated anywhere. This is carried on through the International Civil Aviation Authority (ICAA) which incorporates RTCA for North America and European Organization for Civil Aviation Equipment (EUROCAE). The aerospace industry is multinational and there are aircraft constituents made in numerous of the trading nations round the world. The European and US industry associations had undertaken majority of the international add standardization, since the 2 biggest commercial aircraft brands, Airbus and Boeing are supported these geographical areas. Today global companies engaged in aerospace...

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...
