Abstract
A design for a reconfigurable fault tolerant flight control system for an unmanned air vehicle has been proposed in this paper. Due to the severe nonlinearities inherent in an aircraft system Non-Linear Model Predictive Control has been chosen for the controller design. The results obtained show good aircraft performance in the event of a control surface failure.
