Abstract :
This paper discusses the problem of accommodating failures in aircraft. Techniques which may be used to either passively tolerate or actively detect and compensate for component failures and damage are reviewed, and suggestions are made for integrating these techniques into a restructurable flight control system (RFCS). The focus of the discussion is on near-term application of techniques now being researched.
