A Flight Test Demonstration of On-line Neural Network Applications in Advanced Aircraft Flight Control System

This paper demonstrates the application of online adaptive control system as demonstrated by actual flight tests flown the IFCS project at NASA DFRC, California. The flight test data were compared with the Matlab/Simulink based V&V tools developed under the IFCS Project. The V&V tools predictions are similar to those obtained from the flight test. This shows that our V&V tools have future application in the V&V of adaptive NN based controllers.
