National Technical Reports Library

The National Technical Information Service acquires, indexes, abstracts, and archives the largest collection of U.S. government-sponsored technical reports in existence. The NTRL offers online, free and open access to these authenticated government technical reports. Technical reports and documents in its repository may be available online for free either from the issuing federal agency, the U.S. Government Publishing Office’s Federal Digital System website, or through search engines.

Self-Adaptive Flight Control by Multivariable Parameter Identification.

Abstract An approach to adaptive flight control is described which uses outputs from a relatively simple parameter tracking computer to adjust flight control system parameters. A unique characteristic of the parameter tracking mechanism is the ability to function with almost any type of disturbance as an input, including normal pilot activity, wind turbulence, and oscillations due to control loop instability. This may be accomplished without special test inputs or limit cycles. (Author)
