Abstract :
Accurate Automation Corporation is leading the LoFLYTE advanced development program demonstrating the benefits of neural networks. This is a multiphase effort to develop the technologies necessary to design, fabricate, and flight test a Mach 5 waverider aircraft. Phase I of the program consisted of a feasibility study. Phase II is the critical design phase to construct a subsonic remotely piloted aircraft that will demonstrate the low speed characteristics of a waverider. During Phase II, a number of innovative technologies will be validated. Included in this phase is the neurocontroller system test for this aircraft. Prototype actuator and sensor hardware has been developed and tested with our MIMD neural network hardware
