Abstract :
This paper proposes a sensor fault tolerant control scheme for a large civil aircraft. It is based on the application of a robust method for sensor fault reconstruction using sliding mode theory. The novelty lies in the application of the sensor fault reconstruction scheme to correct the corrupted measured signals before they are used by the controller and therefore the controller does not need to be reconfigured to adapt to sensor faults
