This paper discusses some trends and recent advances in model-based Fault Detection,
Isolation and Recovery (FDIR) for aerospace systems. The FDIR challenges range from pre …

The impact that the aerospace and aviation industry has on today's modern society and
world's economy is very prominent. As such, the aerospace industry continues at the …

This paper proposes a novel control law for accurate tracking of agile trajectories using a
tailsitter flying wing unmanned aerial vehicle that transitions between vertical takeoff and …

During the reentry process of reusable launch vehicles (RLVs), the large range of flight
envelope will not only result in high nonlinearities, strong coupling and fast time-varying …

The work presented in this paper is undertaken within the European FP7 funded Advanced
Fault Diagnosis for Sustainable Flight Guidance and Control (ADDSAFE) project. The goal is …

In this paper, we develop algorithms for the computational analysis of stability and robust
performance properties of nonlinear models governed by polynomial differential equations …

Abstract Incremental Nonlinear Dynamic Inversion (INDI) has received substantial interest in
the recent years as a nonlinear flight control law design methodology that features inherent …

THERE have been many types of vertical/short takeoff and landing (V/STOL) aircraft tested
over the past 50 years [1]. Notable V/STOL aircraft include the Harrier, powered by a …

This paper investigates the design of robust‡ fault detection and isolation filters for linear
parameter‐varying systems modeled in a linear fractional representation fashion. The goal …

Linear parameter varying theory has been in the control community for the last 15 years but
its use in space systems has been limited due to the slow transfer of these techniques to the …
