IT is a known fact that aircraft noise and fuel emissions are the most constraining factors for the growth of aviation. Continuous Descent Arrivals (CDAs) provide significant reductions in fuel consumption and noise footprint on the ground, by following idle thrust descent and eliminating low altitude leveling off. However, limitations such as...

Human controllers are an essential part of human-machine systems, because of their capability to adapt. However, current manual control cybernetics theory falls short in describing the adapting human controller. In this study the time-invariant human operator models are made parameter varying over time to describe human adaptation. A steady...

In 2019 all air-carrier pilots are obliged to go through flight simulator-based stall recovery training. Therefore simulators will have to be equipped with accurate flight models at high angles of attack. This research shows which stall characteristics can be modeled using flight data from symmetrical induced, quasi-steady stalls. Furthermore a...

How does an organization that is mainly used to conduct maintenance to its aircraft according to manufacturers prescriptions adapt a method with which they can change and optimize their maintenance policies? This thesis report describes the state of the art in maintenance- and related reliability engineering that is used to obtain a step-by-step...

Evolutionary Robotics allows robots with limited sensors and processing to tackle complex tasks by means of sensory-motor coordination. In this paper we show the first application of the Behaviour Tree framework to a real robotic platform using the Evolutionary Robotics methodology. This framework is used to improve the intelligibility of the...

In the context of fault-tolerant flight control (FTFC), various types of incremental nonlinear control methods have been previously proposed that should overcome important challenges that are imposed by the use of nonlinear, model-based flight control systems. This work presents an analysis, design and implementation of promising incremental...

Introduction An aircraft breakdown, crew coming late, or bad weather conditions are examples of disruptions that airlines have to cope with on a daily basis. Even small disruptions might cause infeasibility of airline schedules. Currently, operation controllers of most airlines solve disruptions manually at the day of operation. They attempt to...

Incremental Nonlinear Dynamic Inversion (INDI) is a variation on Nonlinear Dynamic Inversion (NDI) retaining the high-performance advantages of NDI, while increasing controller robustness to model uncertainties and decreasing the dependency on the vehicle model. After a successful flight test with a multirotor Micro Aerial Vehicle (MAV), the...

Current aircraft flight deck interfaces do not provide information on how a performance-altering failure constrains the aircraft's flight envelope. As a result, it is difficult for flight crews to plan an emergency landing trajectory. This study presents the results of the conceptual development of novel constraint-based interface symbology that...

Due to the increasing complexity of controlling Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), researchers have been trying to let automation take part of the UAV control in order to eliminate human error and reduce the workload of the operator. Such a system has been developed for UAV teleoperators which incorporates haptic feedback on the control stick...

Up to this point, research into Air Traffic Controller workload has primarily focused on a number of discrete areas. However, it is widely recognized that different components from these respective fields all contribute to the workload an Air Traffic Controller experiences. Hence, this study has tried to bridge this gap by quantitatively...

Multivariate simplex B-splines as a modelling technique provide more accurate models than standard polynomial models, which makes them an excellent modelling tool. Their coefficients, which are expressed in a barycentric coordinate system, are abstract. In this paper a physical transformation matrix is derived which can be applied to transform B...

The time-varying adaptation ability of human operators in basic manual-control tasks is barely understood. Most identification methods do not explicitly take into account any time variations. An identification procedure based on both batch and recursive autoregressive exogenous (ARX) models is presented for capturing the operator's controlled...
