Airline operations are prone to delays and disruptions, since the schedules are generally tight and depend on a lot of resources. When disruptions occur, the flight schedule needs to be adjusted such that the operation can continue. Since…
Modern aircraft are designed with redundant control effectors to cater for fault tolerance and maneuverability requirements. This leads to aircraft being over-actuated and requires control allocation schemes to distribute the control…
