Synopsis

The European Flight Mechanics Action Group FM-AG(16) on Fault Tolerant C- trol, established in 2004 and concluded in 2008, represented a collaboration invo- ing thirteen European partners from industry, universities and research establi- ments under the auspices of the Group for Aeronautical Research and Technology 1 in Europe (GARTEUR) program . In FM-AG(16) the following organizations p- ticipated: Research Establishments Centro Italiano Ricerche Aerospaziali (CIRA, Capua, Italy) Deutsches Zentrum fur Luft-und Raumfahrt (DLR, Oberpfaffenhofen) Defence Science and Technology Laboratory (DSTL, United Kingdom) Netherlands National Aerospace Laboratory (NLR, Amsterdam) Industry QinetiQ (Bedford, United Kingdom) Airbus (Toulouse, France) Universities Bordeaux University (LAPS, Bordeaux, France) Delft University of Technology (DUT, Delft, the Netherlands) · Faculty of Aerospace Engineering (DUT-AE) · Delft Center of Systems and Control (DUT-DCSC) Lille University (USTL, Lille, France) University of Cambridge (UCAM, Cambridge, United Kingdom) 1 The Group for Aeronautical Research and Technology in EURope (GARTEUR) was formed in 1973 and has as member countries: France, Germany, the Netherlands, Spain, Sweden and the United Kingdom. According to its Memorandum of Understanding, the mission of GARTEUR is to mobilize, for the mutual bene?t of the GARTEUR member countries, their scienti?c and technical skills, human resources, and facilities in the ?eld of aeronautical research and technology.

About this title

From the Back Cover

The European Flight Mechanics Action Group FM-AG(16) on Fault Tolerant Control, established in 2004 and concluded in 2008, represented a collaboration involving thirteen European partners from industry, universities and research establishments under the auspices of the Group for Aeronautical Research and Technology in Europe (GARTEUR) program. The book consists of five parts. Part I contains the introduction and motivation of this research project and a state-of-the-art overview in Fault Tolerant Flight Control (FTC). Part II includes the description of the benchmark challenge, consisting of details of the benchmark simulation model and the assessment criteria used to evaluate the performance of the Fault Tolerant Controllers. Part III covers all the different FDI/FTC design methods which have been applied to the benchmark simulation model. There are two different evaluation methods for these FDI/FTC designs, namely an off-line evaluation using the assessment criteria in the benchmark simulation model in Matlab, and an on-line evaluation on Delft’s SIMONA Research Simulator. The off-line evaluations are described in the individual chapters in part III, whereas the latter is treated extensively in part IV where the real time assessments on the SIMONA Research Simulator are introduced and discussed. Finally part V focuses on a review of the applied methods from an industrial perspective together with some concluding remarks.
