Overview
What you will study
The Introduction to Applied Flight Control course offered by Cranfield University presents methods for flight control analysis and design. The methods are largely based on classical design approach that produces controllers that have a simple structure and that are transparent and can subsequently be implemented and certified for real aircraft.
Programme Structure
The program focuses on:
- Automatic flight control design applications
- Linear aircraft models
- Non-linear aircraft simulation models
- Aircraft dynamic stability and response
- Flight Control Law Design
- Autostabiliser Design Example
- Classical autopilot design
- Autothrottle Design
- Pitch Attitude Hold Autopilot Design
- Altitude Hold & Turn coordination
- Roll attitude control
- Heading control
- Physical considerations
- Design and implementation
- Non-linear case study
- Flight control best practices
- Advanced Control System Design Methods
- Advanced and optimal control
- Robust flight control
