Aircraft performance and flight control systems together determine an aeroplane’s ability to fly safely, efficiently and accurately along a desired trajectory. Performance considerations encompass ...
As a result, flight testing is vastly sped up because the aircraft can shift to a new iteration without having to land and head back to the hangar. In addition, SAFE uses AI and machine learning to ...
Autonomy is no longer science fiction. Advanced flight control systems that augment pilot decisions with artificial intelligence and machine learning are moving into mainstream avionics. These systems ...
"Advanced Control of Aircraft, Missiles and Spacecraft introduces the reader to the concepts of modern control theory applied to the design and analysis of general flight control systems in a concise ...
BAE Systems has been selected by Boeing to upgrade the fly-by-wire (FBW) flight control computers (FCC) for the F-15EX Eagle II and F/A-18E/F Super Hornet fighter aircraft. The FCCs feature common ...
Japan has completed a ground combustion test of a ramjet engine designed for a ...
Modern airliners are incredibly automated, but pilots remain fully responsible for every decision during a flight. What do ...
GE Aerospace and NASA recently partnered on flight tests to help further the aviation industry’s understanding of contrails, using new test methods and technologies. Contrails are clouds made of ice ...
