Abstract

This paper presents a fault tolerant flight control system. The Extended Multiple Model Adaptive Estimation EMMAE method is used to design the Fault Detection and Diagnosis FDD process. This process is able to detect, isolate and identify in real time faults that occurs in aircraft actuator. Based on information given by FDD process, a Sliding Mode Controller (SMC) is designed to compensate effects of such faults, and allows the aircraft to accomplish its mission safety with acceptable performances.
