In this study, we implemented a formation flight control system using two drones. Ground control system communicates with drones by MAVLink protocol, does keep watch on drone's status and sends simultaneously formation flight instructions to drones in real time. Two drones have been able to fly by a formation flight algorithm without crashing while maintaining the same speed, and a constant distance and altitude.

In this paper a model following flight control system design using the discrete time quasi-sliding mode control method is described. The quasi-sliding mode is represented as the sliding mode band, not as the sliding surface. The quasi-sliding mode control is composed of the equivalent control for the nominal system without uncertainties and disturbances and the additive control compensating the uncertainties and disturbances. The linearized plant on the equilibrium point is used in designing a flight control system and the stability conditions are proposed for the model uncertainties. Pseudo-state feedback control which uses the model variables for the unmeasured states is proposed. The proposed method is applied to the design of the roll attitude and pitch load factor control of a bank-to-turn missile. The performance is verified through the nonlinear six degrees of freedom flight simulation.

Automatic flight control system (AFCS) for a low-cost unmanned aerial vehicle is described in this paper. Development process and block diagram of the AFCS are introduced. The flight control law for longitudinal and lateral channel autopilot is designed using optimization process. In this procedure, the performance index is composed of desired location of closed loop system poles and H$_2$norm of the resultant flight control system. This procedure is applied to the autopilot design of an unmanned target vehicle. Performance of the AFCS is evaluated by processor-in-the-loop simulation test and flight test. These results show that the AFCS has acceptable performance fur low cost UAV.

In this paper, We present a new nonlinear adaptive control law using a disturbance accommodating control (DAC) observer for a Japanese automatic landing flight experiment vehicle called ALFLEX. A future spaceplane must have ability to deal with greater fluctuations in the stability and control derivatives of flight dynamics, because its flight region is much wider than that of conventional aircraft. In our previous studies, digital adaptive flight control systems have been developed based on a linear-parameter-varying (LPV) model depending on dynamic pressure, and obtained good simulation results. However, under previous control laws, it is difficult to accommodate uncertainties represented by disturbance and nonlinearity, and to design a stable flight control system. Therefore, in this study, we attempted to design a nonlinear adaptive control law using the DAC Observer and inverse dynamic methods. A good tracking property of the obtained system was confirmed in numerical simulation.

The stability and control derivatives of DURUMI-lI UAV using the flight test are obtained. The flight test data is gathered from the normal flight condition (normal mode) and the flight condition assumed as the right elevator fixed (fault mode). Using real-time parameter estimation techniques, applied to Fourier transform regression method, simulates the aircraft motion. From the result, the fault of control surface is to be detected. In this paper, the results of the real- time parameter estimation techniques are compared with the results of the Advanced Aircraft Analysis (AAA). Using the aerodynamic derivatives, it provides the base line of normal/failure for the control surface by using the on-line parameter estimation of Fourier transform regression. In flight, this approach maybe helpful to detect and isolate the fault of primary control surface. It is explained how to perform the flight condition assumed as the right elevator fixed in the flight test. Also, it is mentioned how to switch between the normal flight condition and the assumed fault flight condition.

This paper proposes the load distribution control allocation technique. The proposed method is designed by combining a conventional control allocation method with load distribution ability in order to reduce the stress acting on ailerons. By designing the weighting matrix as a function of the load distribution rule, the optimal deflection angles of each surface to satisfy both control goal and load distribution can be achieved. Moreover, rule based fault-tolerant control technique is also proposed. The rules are generated by considering both dominant control surfaces and the ratio of load distribution among surfaces. The performance of the proposed method is evaluated through numerical simulations.

The flight control law designed for prototype aircraft often leads to degraded stability and performance, although developed control law verify by non-real time simulation and pilot based evaluations. Therefore, the proper evaluation methods should be applied such that flight control law designed can be verified in real flight environment. The one proposed in this paper is IFS (In-Flight Simulator). Currently, this system has been implemented into the F-18 HARV (High Angle of Attack Research Vehicle), SU-27 and F-16 VISTA (Variable stability In flight Simulation Test Aircraft) programs. The IFS necessary switching control law such as fader logic and integrator stand-by mode to reduce abrupt transient and minimize the integrator effect for each flight control laws switching. This paper addresses the concept of switching mechanism with fader logic of "TFS (Transient Free Switch)" and stand-by mode of "feedback type" based on SSWM (Software Switching Mechanism). And the result of real-time pilot evaluation reveals that the aircraft is stable for inter-conversion of flight control laws and transient response is minimized.

현대의 고성능 전투기에 탑재되어 있는 전기식 비행제어계통(Digital Fly-By-Wire Flight Control System)은 항공기 조종면의 고장으로 인해 발생할 수 있는 항공기의 안정성을 보장하기 위해 조종면 형상 재구성 모드(Control Surface Reconfiguration Mode)가 설계되어 있다. T-50 제어법칙에는 단일 조종면이 고장 났을 경우, 정상작동중인 나머지 조종면을 이용하여 항공기를 원활히 조종할 수 있도록 형상 재구성 모드가 적용되어 있다. 본 논문에서는 항공기 운용 시 발생할 수 있는 조종면 결함으로 인해 형상 재구성 모드 제어법칙이 적용되었을 경우, 착륙외장형상에서 항공기 안정성을 해석하기 위하여 선형해석(Linear Analysis)을 수행하였다 그리고 착륙에 대한 비행성(Flying Quality) 저하여부를 판단하기 위해, HQS(Handling Quality Simulator)를 이용하여 조종사 시뮬레이션을 수행하였다. 해석결과, 조종면 고장으로 인해 제어법칙이 형상 재구성 모드로 전환될 경우, 항공기의 조종성 및 비행성의 저하가 다소 발생하였지만, HQS 조종사 시뮬레이션 결과 착륙과정에서는 비행성 요구도인 Level 1을 만족할 수 있었다.

The flight control of the T-50 advanced trainer is conducted by the digital FBW (Flight-by-Wire) control system. The system input data consist of flight conditions such as altitude, airspeed, and angle of attack. And the flight conditions of the aircraft are obtained from IMFP (Integrated Multi-Function Probe). The T-50 aircraft equip three IMFP sensors. To ensure reliability in flight condition data obtained from each IMFP sensor, the mean value of flight conditions is used as the input of the control system. In this study, the effect of an installation angle of IMFP sensors on estimation of flight altitude was investigated by flight test results in the supersonic region.
