MRAC Control with Prior Model Knowledge for Asymmetric Damaged Aircraft
This paper develops a novel state-tracking multivariable model reference adaptive control (MRAC) technique utilizing prior knowledge of plant models to recover control performance of an asymmetric...
View ArticleA Robust Controller for an UAV Flight Control System
The objective of this paper is the implementation and validation of a robust controller for an UAV to track all types of manoeuvres in the presence of noisy environment. A robust inner-outer loop...
View ArticleA Novel Biobjective Risk-Based Model for Stochastic Air Traffic Network Flow...
Network-wide air traffic flow management (ATFM) is an effective way to alleviate demand-capacity imbalances globally and thereafter reduce airspace congestion and flight delays. The conventional ATFM...
View ArticleAn Airway Network Flow Assignment Approach Based on an Efficient...
Considering reducing the airspace congestion and the flight delay simultaneously, this paper formulates the airway network flow assignment (ANFA) problem as a multiobjective optimization model and...
View ArticleHelicopter Control Energy Reduction Using Moving Horizontal Tail
Helicopter moving horizontal tail (i.e., MHT) strategy is applied in order to save helicopter flight control system (i.e., FCS) energy. For this intention complex, physics-based, control-oriented...
View ArticleTerminal-Area Aircraft Intent Inference Approach Based on Online Trajectory...
Terminal-area aircraft intent inference (T-AII) is a prerequisite to detect and avoid potential aircraft conflict in the terminal airspace. T-AII challenges the state-of-the-art AII approaches due to...
