  • Chapter
Fault Tolerant Flight Control

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Control and Information Sciences ((LNCIS,volume 399))

Why Fault Tolerant Control?

Nowadays, control systems are involved in nearly all aspects of our lives. They are all around us, but their presence is not always really apparent. They are in our kitchens, in our DVD-players, computers and our cars. They are found in elevators, ships, aircraft and spacecraft. Control systems are present in every industry, they are used to control chemical reactors, distillation columns, and nuclear power plants. They are constantly and inexhaustibly working, making our life more comfortable and more efficient...until the system fails.
