Abstract

This paper presents adaptive control architecture for the safe flight of a transport aircraft under adverse operating conditions and uncertainties. This architecture combines a nominal controller based on an LQR with integral action, and an adaptive controller that accommodates for actuator saturation and disturbances. In this paper, we consider the control of the C-5 transport aircraft, which is similar to the Generic Transport Model. We delineate the underlying nonlinear dynamic model and introduce various upsets, damages, and failures by representing these various adverse conditions in the form of uncertainties.
