Rational Intellectualization of the Aircraft Control: Resources-Saving Safety Improvement

The article presents substantiation for the necessity of improving the aircraft flights safety due to reducing the flight costs by using green technology and intellectualizing the technologies that provide diagnosis and recovery of control systems operability. The typical reasons for operability failure of three aircraft types: airplanes, unmanned aerial vehicles and spacecraft are presented. The analysis results of the classical control principles for countering malfunction of aircraft are described. A new approach standing on the diagnosis-based control principle and providing for operability of aircraft control systems is suggested. The usage of the principle requires supplementing intelligent control functions: diagnosis and recovery of operability. A block diagram of a rational control system implementing the principle of control on diagnosis is presented. The features of formation of the algorithmic support for recovering the operability with the use of the signal and parametric customizations, algorithms and hardware reconfiguration in real-time are described. An example of forming the algorithm for sensor operability recovery in the heading channel of a flying model is presented. The potential resource effects of the proposed approach on the example of the course channel of the model are reviewed. The directions for further research on increasing resource security through the rational intellectualization aircraft control are suggested.
