Controller Design for a Digital Flight Control System DFCS
Rzucidlo Pawel
DigitalFlight Control System (DFCS) represents a control strategy which transforms asimplistic control surface commanding into a sophisticated motion controlprocess. This paper discusses the design of two flight controllers for DFCS.One is based on the classical "best practice" design, the other features TotalEnergy Control System logic. Both control systems were subjected tosimulations. The advantage of the TECS proved to be in excellent performanceand moderate complexity of the resulting controller structure compared toclassical control law design.
Digital flight control system, Aircraft, General Aviation, Controller design
General Aviation has been traditionally hampered by the expense and time required to get a pilot's license and the instrument rating required for flight in less-than-ideal weather. Modern digital flight control technologies greatly improve handling qualities and flight safety compared to the even best naturally stable, un-augmented aircraft designs.
