Abstract:
This paper presents an application of H_infinity fault detection and isolation (FDI) to the longitudinal motion of a Boeing 747-100/200 aircraft. An FDI filter is synthesized for an open-loop linear, time invariant (LTI) model of the aircraft to detect and isolate faults in the elevator actuator and pitch rate sensor while attenuating the effect of disturbances and noise on the fault signals. Simulations with a nonlinear B-747 aircraft model augmented with a flight controller in the presence of gust and noise validate the fault detection and isolation, and the disturbance rejection and robust properties of the H_infinity LTI FDI lter.
