Passenger Comfort Improvement by Integrated Control Law Design

Abstract

This paper presents comfort criteria based on ISO 2631-1 standard, and shows how these criteria can be applied to a large capacity civil aircraft for passenger comfort evaluation. The results obtained show that fly-by-wire allows to improve comfort with respect to the natural aircraft. More over an active control of the first flexible modes allows not only to improve low frequency' comfort (vibrating comfort), but also very low frequency' comfort (motion sickness phenomenon). This study defines tools for comfort analysis and control law design, which could be used for future large civil aircraft, like the A340-500/600 and the A3XX.
