Adaptive Control of GTM at MIT

Link to research website: http://www.mit.edu/~tgibson/research.html

Flight Test Scenario
Analog time delay 60 ms
Digital time delay 105 ms
Left aileron Locked -10 deg
Left inboard elevator Locked 0 deg
Bottom rudder Locked 0 deg
Top rudder 25% effective
Left outboard elevator 50% effective
All right elevators 25% effective
Center of gravity shift -45% MAC

In this video the GTM simulink model is flown with a pilot in the loop. X-Plane is used for the visualization environment and a Logitech joystick is used to command the aircraft. The pilot is able to fly the airplane even though several of the control surfaces are locked or partially effective, the center of gravity is shifted back from nominal and several time delays are present in the system.

@MsPEcondition What would you suggest as a better solution?

[MsPEcondition]

Awesome! How many passengers threw up while the parameter estimations were converging to the region with acceptable performance?
