In the last 30 years, at least 10 aircraft have experienced major flight control system failures claiming more than 1100 lives. Early detection of a fault or damage of aircraft subsystems is very crucial for its control and maneuver during the flight. These events include sudden loss of control surfaces, engine failure, and other components that may result in abnormal flight operating conditions. Monitoring and detection of such events is necessary in order to achieve acceptable flight performance and higher flight survivability under abnormal conditions. The Intelligent Flight Control (IFC) research program at NASA Ames began in 1992 to address the need to examine alternate sources of control power to accommodate in-flight control system failures. These events can include sudden loss of control surfaces, engine thrust, and other causes that may result in the departure of the aircraft from safe flight conditions. The major feature of IFC technology is its ability to adapt to unforeseen events through the use of an adaptive neural flight control architecture.
