FAULT-TOLERANT CONTROL FOR FLIGHT CONTROL SYSTEMS

Patent Pending

• Situation detection time delay plays a crucial role in the stability of the system, and therefore, prior to system design, the maximum situation detection time must be determined and used for verification of the controller’s response. 

• This is superior to present technology because current Adaptive controllers are either fully pre-determined gain scheduled or fully dynamic relying on fast optimization. However, the invention is a hybrid benefiting from both architectures that results in faster and more reliable adaptation, which in many cases can be the difference between a crash and a safe flight….
