Control surface or actuator faults or failures in any flight lead to system-induced loss of control in-flight (LOC-I) and the result can be fatal. In this paper, to prevent these accidents, an active fault-tolerant flight control (FTFC) is proposed. The system consists of the nonlinear control technique, state-dependent Riccati equation (SDRE) and a linear controller technique. In this paper, control surface damage is studied. To prevent LOC-I, a Reconfiguration Mechanism (RM) sends signals in real-time to the SDRE controller to slow down or accelerate the control surface movement, reconfigures controller with respect to damage or changes to Linear Quadratic Regulator/tracking (LQR/LQT) control due to uncontrollability and unobservability problem. Comparative figures are given to illustrate the effectiveness of the hybrid (SDRE/LQR-LQT+PID) controller architecture.

Fault tolerant flight control applications for a fixed wing UAV using linear and nonlinear approaches
Ergöçmen, Burak; Yavrucuk, İlkay; Department of Aerospace Engineering (2019)
Control surface or actuator faults or failures in any flight, lead to system-induced loss of control in flight (LOC-I) and results can be fatal. In this thesis, to prevent these accidents, an active fault-tolerant flight control (FTFC) is proposed. The system consists of the nonlinear control technique, state-dependent Riccati equation (SDRE) and linear controller techniques. Besides, examples for emergency cases; control surface damage, degradation, stuck and turbulence are studied for different levels. In...
High angle attack maneuvering and stabilization control of aircraft
Ateşoğlu, Özgür; Özgören, Mustafa Kemal; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2007)
In this study, the implementation of modern control techniques, that can be used both for the stable recovery of the aircraft from the undesired high angle of attack flight state (stall) and the agile maneuvering of the aircraft in various air combat or defense missions, are performed. In order to accomplish this task, the thrust vectoring control (TVC) actuation is blended with the conventional aerodynamic controls. The controller design is based on the nonlinear dynamic inversion (NDI) control methodologi...
Structured H-Infinity controller design and analysis for highly maneuverable jet aircraft
Özkan, Salih Volkan; Tekinalp, Ozan; Department of Aerospace Engineering (2022-2-10)
Robust control technique is utilized to develop flight control laws for highly maneuverable aircraft. A structured H-Infinity controller is used to optimize the gains of the proposed control algorithm. For this purpose systune algorithm available in Matlab is employed to successfully obtain the controller gains satisfying selected design requirements. Designed control laws are evaluated according to these requirements and validation of the methodology is presented.
Optimal trajectory generation and tracking for a helicopter in tail rotor failure
Arslan, Yusuf Onur; Yavrucuk, İlkay; Department of Aerospace Engineering (2022-8-23)
Tail rotor failure is the main reason for a variety of helicopter accidents throughout aviation history. It is troublesome to control and navigate the helicopter to a predefined landing point with a non-functioning tail rotor especially if the number of available landing sites is limited. The objective of this thesis is to generate flight trajectories for a helicopter with a failed tail rotor and to track the trajectories by a controller. In this work, the generic helicopter model in FLIGHTLAB software is u...
Online Dynamic Trim and Control Limit Estimation
Yavrucuk, İlkay (American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA), 2012-9)
The online estimation of a maneuvering steady-state condition of an aircraft, called the dynamic trim, is used to estimate the allowable control travel during flight, a key information in pilot cueing for envelope limit protection. In this paper a new methodology is presented where adaptive models are used to estimate online local dynamic trim conditions, while requiring very limited a priori vehicle information. Adaptive neural networks are employed to enable online learning. The models are used to estimat...
