FLY THE LIMITS: A professional test platform for developing new flight guidance and envelope protection systems

摘要

The envelope of an aircraft is restricted by a set of aerodynamic and structural limits, as well as by a wide variety of internal system constraints. To stay within these limits and to not overstrain flight control subsystems, current flight guidance and control systems contain sufficiently large safety margins at each automation level. When automation increases, this leads to a decrease of system performance, creating a high potential for optimization.
