This paper presents adaptive control architecture for the safe flight of a transport aircraft under adverse operating conditions and uncertainties. This architecture combines a nominal controller based on an LQR with integral action, and an adaptive controller that accommodates for actuator saturation and disturbances. In this paper, we consider the control of the C-5 transport aircraft, which is similar to the Generic Transport Model. We delineate the underlying nonlinear dynamic model and introduce various upsets, damages, and failures by representing these various adverse conditions in the form of uncertainties.

Abstract The engine/airframe integration design is one key differentiating factor for making efficient transport aircraft and this topic will become more important for future aircraft as the turbofan engine diameter is increased leading to a stronger engine-airframe interaction. Hopefully, the capabilities of advanced numerical simulations allow the involved complex phenomena to be taken into account and this is illustrated in this paper through several research studies: the use of the Reynolds averaged Navier-Stokes equations together with the drag extraction techniques to predict the drag, the simulation of unsteady complex interaction between the jet and the pylon with the zonal detached eddy simulation method, the pylon and nacelle design through multi disciplinary optimisation and the flow control technologies.
