Abstract:
The works presented in this paper focus on implementation issues of complex dynamic flight control laws. Ambitious multi-criteria objectives and the need to cover the full flight domain of a transport aircraft increase implementation difficulties: interpolation of the control laws, numerical and discretization issues and fast retuning. Relevant methods for MIMO dynamic control laws are proposed, which proved their efficiency on both lateral and longitudinal aircraft control. Copyright © 2007 IFAC.
