Online Distributed Approach for Aerodynamic Model Identification of the ICE Aircraft

Indirect adaptive control for the Innovative Control Effectors (ICE) aircraft requires an online aerodynamic model identification strategy to re-estimate the aerodynamic coefficients. Simplotope B-splines in combination with distributed optimization enables for local updates in a global aerodynamic model. This combination reduces the estimation...

Distributed Approach for Aerodynamic Model Identification of the ICE Aircraft

High performance control allocation methods for the Innovative Control Effectors (ICE) aircraft require accurate onboard aerodynamic models, with preferably first order continuity. Simplotope B-Splines, an extension on Simplex B-Splines, have a high approximation power by using local basis functions. However, enforcing global continuity produces...
