Flight Controls and Pilot-Vehicle Interface
Abstract
This project develops technologies that enable maximum affordable capability from manned and unmanned aerospace vehicles. Advanced flight control technologies are developed for maximum vehicle performance throughout the flight envelope and simulated in virtual environments. Resulting technologies contribute significantly towards the development of reliable autonomous unmanned air vehicles, space access systems with aircraft-like operations, and extended-life legacy aircraft. Payoffs to the warfighter include enhanced mission effectiveness, optimized flight safety, increased survivability, improved maintenance, and decreased size, weight, and cost. Leverages a network of synthetic environments for evaluation of advanced concepts.
