IMMUNE : Control reallocation after surface failures using model predictive control

This paper describes how to exploit the linear model predictive control with quadratic programming to the well-known control surface reallocation problem once an actuator failure has been detected and isolated. Theoretical developments assume here an overactuated aircraft model, only submitted to input constraints. Implementation improvements are added to allow real on-board applications. Simulations prove the efficiency of the algorithm for various failure cases.
