SIMONA Implementation Results

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: Advances in Industrial Control ((AIC))

Abstract

This chapter describes the implementation of the sliding mode allocation schemes from the previous chapter on the 6-DOF research flight simulator SIMONA at Delft University of Technology, the Netherlands. The controller is implemented in ‘C’ and runs on the ‘flight control’ computer associated with SIMONA. Real-time implementation issues are discussed and a range of fault scenarios from the GARTEUR AG16 benchmark are tested and discussed.
