Abstract :
In this paper, a study of reconfigurable control allocation applied to a realistic and nonlinear aircraft model is presented. A pseudo-inverse based method for reconfigurable control allocation has been investigated in an ADMIRE (aero-data model in research environment) aircraft benchmark model. Partial loss of control effectiveness type faults have been implemented. Simulation results show satisfactory performance for accommodating the partial loss of control effectiveness in control effectors.
