Application Research of MRAC in Fault-Tolerant Flight Controller

Damage, failure, and other configuration variety of aircraft would make the model parameters changed uncertainly, and lead to unknown deviations of the equilibrium points and unexpected coupling characters. One type of fault-tolerant flight controller which contains model reference adaptive theory is released for dealing with these problems. Design requirement for fault-tolerant flight controller is discussed and one structure of controller is presented. The reconstruction simulation for serious shift of center of gravity which could not detected by FDI system demonstrates this type of controller can complete the reconfiguration task without failure information, and demonstrated the validity of this structure.
