An Innovative Angle of Attack Virtual Sensor for Physical-Analytical Redundant Measurement System Applicable to Commercial Aircraft
Abstract:
The angle of attack is a critical flight parameter for commercial aviation aircraft, because automatic envelope protection systems rely on it to keep the aircraft within its safe flight envelope. Faulty measurements of the angle of attack could have catastrophic effects, leading to aircraft loss of control in flight and fatalities, as demonstrated by the…

Computation of Viability Kernels on Grid Computers for Aircraft Control in Windshear
Abstract:
This paper is devoted to the analysis of aircraft dynamics in the cruise flight phase under windshear conditions. The study is conducted with reference to a point-mass aircraft model restricted to move in a vertical plane. We formulate the problem as a differential game against the wind disturbances: The first player, autopilot, manages, via additional…
