20140365035 | AIR VEHICLE CONTROL SYSTEM AND METHOD - A control actuation system (CAS) for positioning control effectors of an air vehicle, for steering the air vehicle, includes application of a control allocation matrix to measured positions of the control effectors or their actuators, as part of a feedback mechanism. The output from the control allocation matrix is used as an input for one or more controllers, the output of which is passed through an inverse control allocation matrix, to produce signals that are sent to control actuators to position the control effectors. The controller may use different gains for different of its inputs, for example applying a lower gain for a brake signal than for one or more of a pitch signal, a roll signal, and a yaw signal. The control actuation may make for a control system that is able to better withstand impaired performance or non-performance of some the control effectors. | 12-11-2014 |
