Fault tolerant flight control (FTFC) has been investigated to increase aviation safety. FTFC adaptively changes control devices, control algorithms, or control parameters in order to regulate the change of dynamic characteristics of aircraft when malfunction of control system or airframe structure failure occurs during the flight. It is difficult to carry out the flight demonstration of FTFC for an aircraft with pilot operation since the airworthiness should be satisfied even in the failure cases. The use of unmanned air vehicles (UAVs) is suitable for this purpose. The authors’ team has been demonstrating the FTFC based on neural networks (NNs) using a small UAVs.
