A Comparison of Nonlinear Algorithms in the Prevention of Pilot-Induced Oscillations Caused by Actuator Rate Limiting (Project HAVE PREVENT)

Abstract

This report presents the results of Project HAVE PREVENT, a comparison of nonlinear algorithms in the prevention of pilot-induced oscillations (PlO) caused by actuator rate limiting. The overall test objective was to compare the ability of two flight control system filters in the prevention of PlO during actuator rate limiting. The Air Force Institute of Technology, Engineering Department (AFIT/ENY) requested this testing. The USAF Test Pilot School (TPS), Class O2A, conducted 13 flight tests totaling 21.0 hours at Edwards AFB, California, from 16 to 23 October 2002.
