Fault-Tolerant Control of a Passenger Jet

This example shows how to tune a fixed-structure controller for multiple operating modes

of the plant.

Background

This example deals with fault-tolerant flight control of passenger jet undergoing outages

in the elevator and aileron actuators. The flight control system must maintain stability

and meet performance and comfort requirements in both nominal operation and degraded

conditions where some actuators are no longer effective due to control surface

impairment. Wind gusts must be alleviated in all conditions. This application is sometimes

called reliable control as aircraft safety must be maintained in extreme flight conditions.

Aircraft Model

The control system is modeled in Simulink.
