Abstract
The majority of fatal aircraft accidents are associated with ‘loss-of-control’. Yet the notion of loss-of-control is not well-deflned in terms suitable for rigorous control systems analysis. Loss-of-control is generally associated with ∞ight outside of the normal ∞ight envelope, with nonlinear in∞uences, and with an inability of the pilot to control the aircraft. The two primary sources of nonlinearity are the intrinsic nonlinear dynamics of the aircraft and the state and control constraints within which the aircraft must operate. In this paper we examine how these nonlinearities afiect the ability to control the aircraft and how they may contribute to loss-of-control. Examples are provided using NASA’s Generic Transport Model.
