ACTA tools as an integrated teaching assistant for the Design of Automatic Flight Control Systems

摘要

ACTA I and ACTA II are two user friendly tools for teaching Automatic Control Systems, based on Matlab. ACTA tools greatly facilitate the design of Electronic Flight Control Systems. In this paper the ACTA tools and their functions are initially introduced; then a case study demonstrating how a typical modern aircraft control system may be analyzed and redesigned using the ACTA tools is presented. The paper concludes by summarizing the ACTA tools advantages, as well as, our future plans. The ACTA tools are available for free downloading through our wiki.
