Advanced Flight Control Systems – Theory and Practice

Posted on January 12, 2017 by admin_flight

This short course includes 5 days of background academics and laboratory exercises covering pertinent aspects
of flight control systems and theory. Additionally, this course prepares attendees for Advanced Flight Control
Systems Part I and II flying courses, however, it is not a prerequisite. The following topics will be covered in an academic lecture format:

  • Coordinate systems and coordinate transformations
  • Mathematical models of an aircraft (6 DOF and 3 DOF)
  • Review and physical insight of the stability and control derivatives of an aircraft (linear and non-linear)
  • Flying and handling qualities maneuvers
  • Transfer Functions
  • Feedback stability augmentation
  • Flight control system considerations (design and analysis)
  • Flight control hardware
  • Advanced flight control examples

WHO SHOULD ATTEND

Test pilots, Flight Test Engineers and engineering personnel who are involved in development, analysis, and certification of flight control systems

PREREQUISITES

There are no technical prerequisites for students; however, a number of topics both in the ground school and simulation laboratories will be presented in a format where familiarization with basic algebra will facilitate understanding of the material.

COURSE OBJECTIVES

By completion of the course, the participant will be able to:

  • Become familiar with and understand how to analyze different components of a flight control system
  • Understand the strength and weaknesses of the most common flight control schemes used in industry
  • Become familiar with flight control system analysis tools
  • Become familiar with the flight test maneuvers for evaluating flight control systems
