Automatic Flight Control System for Hypersonic Transport Aircraft

02/15/2019

The global interest in hypersonic aircraft has recently picked up speed after almost 20 years of being dormant. My research interest in the fundamental study of the Flight Control Augmentation System (FCAS) for Hypersonic Aircraft (HypA) has therefore, resumed. The research involves developing the flight dynamics of the high speed aircraft and investigating suitable control laws for the aircraft when flying at various hypersonic speeds and heights. I use Matlab and Simulink extensively in this research.
