Of those nine, the L1 adaptive flight control system from Hovakimyan's group was the only one cleared by pilots for stall and post-stall flight conditions, and the only one able to provide a ...

L1 adaptive control has the potential to make flights much safer, Ackerman said. In the event of a failure, it allows the pilot to focus on landing the airplane and getting the passengers out safely.

Illinois Professor Naira Hovakimyan is poised to enter into an unprecedented third round of flight tests using her L1 adaptive control system. The goal of the pioneering L1 system is to maintain ...

An adaptive flight-control system designed to increase safety in extreme conditions is entering its third round of flight tests. The L1 adaptive control system developed at the University of ...

In the second part of the talk, we present some of our recent results that explore various architectures with L1 adaptive control while guaranteeing performance and robustness throughout the learning ...

Tests of the L1 adaptive control law will assess its ability to control the VISTA F-16 over a range of flight conditions and simulated failures.
