Abstract
This paper describes the architecture and modeling of the motion control system for the cavity door drive system developed by Woodward MPC Inc., for the SOFIA aircraft. We also describe some of the fault tolerance features in the system architecture designed to meet the safety requirements. Finally, simulation results are presented that demonstrate the tracking capabilities of the door drive control system.
