Abstract

In this paper an approach to fault-tolerant flight control system design based on the integration of sensor/actuator fault detection and isolation (FDI) and reconfigurable control is presented. The effects of the sensor and actuator faults in the innovation process of the Kalman filter are investigated, and a decision approach to isolate the sensor and actuator faults is proposed.

The reconfigurable control algorithm based on the Extended Kalman Filter (EKF) is presented. The control reconfiguration procedure is executed by considering the identified control distribution matrix. In the simulations, the longitudinal dynamics of an aircraft control system are considered, and control reconfiguration is examined. In the paper, the principal block diagram of a fault tolerant aircraft control system is offered.
