            Abstract : 
Theoretical tools are proposed to analyze the tracking error of a Boeing 737 closed-loop digital flight control system implemented on a class of distributed recoverable platforms subject to digital upsets which are used to describe a harsh environment. Markov upset processes are directly injected into the flight control system. Furthermore, the corresponding theoretical and simulation estimations are described to verify this methodology.
