Appendix A - Results of Computational Experiments With Adaptive Systems

Abstract

The Appendix presents the results of numerous computational experiments with adaptive systems of MRAC and MPC types with reference to aircraft of various classes. These results provide an adequate representation of topics such as (1) the effect of individual structural elements of these systems and the properties of these elements on the characteristics of the synthesized systems; (2) the capabilities of the systems under consideration from the point of view of ensuring their resistance to changes in the properties of the object due to failures and damage; (3) an assessment of the nature of the impact of atmospheric turbulence on the controlled system of the class under consideration; (4) an assessment of the possibilities of adaptation of the systems under consideration to uncertainties in the source data; and (5) assessment of the importance of adaptation mechanisms for the example of the problem of controlling the angular motion of the aircraft.
