Minimum drag control allocation for the Innovative Control Effector aircraft: Optimal use of control redundancy on modern fighters

The Innovative Control Effector model is a tailless delta-wing aircraft concept equipped with 11 control surfaces with overlapping functionality and two-directional thrust vectoring. The high level of redundancy makes it an interesting object for research on mission-specific control allocation. A (spline-based) incremental control allocation...
