ADVANTAGES OF USING μ-SYNTHESIS FOR FAULT-TOLERANT FLIGHT CONTROL SYSTEM

In the framework of FTFCS, an integration of a controller with an FDI system takes place. The integrated system is supposed to possess the required stability and performance robustness. The synthesis methods differ in handling this requirement. The main theme of this work is to show the advantages of using μ-synthesis over H∞ mixed-sensitivity in designing controllers in the framework of FTFCS with better performance and stability robustness margins. This has been tested for BEll-205 Helicopter using desktop simulations.
