Some faults which occur in
automatic flight control systems can affect the control of the aircraft. By
means of automatic flight systems, control movements can be given in the
sensitivity that pilots can not be able to give. Hence, some faults which occur
on sensor, actuator and control surface should be controlled by some
controllers. Filters, observers, parameter estimation systems, parity equations
and signal models are used for this purpose. The basic principle of observers
is the state variables which predicted by observers of another system converge
to the state variables of a dynamic system. In this study, full-order observer
and Generalized Observer Scheme (GOS) were used to detect and isolate aircraft
sensor faults in an aircraft lateral flight control system. While fullorder observer
is used for sensor fault detection, GOS is used for sensor fault isolation.
Full-order observer and GOS were designed using MATLAB software to detect and
isolate aircraft sensor faults in an aircraft lateral flight control system.
