AE4311 Non-linear and Adaptive Flight Control

This is an MSc elective course. It introduces nonlinear and adaptive control techniques to enhance the reconfigurability of aircraft flight control systems. Advanced nonlinear and adaptive control techniques such as Adaptive Nonlinear Dynamic Inversion (ANDI), Incremental Nonlinear Dynamic Inversion (INDI), Adaptive Backstepping (ABS) and Incremental Backstepping are described together with applications to fault-tolerant and reconfigurable aircraft flight control system designs. I am a guest lecturer for the INDI control theory part in every Q4 since 2020.
