Linear Paramater-Varying Detection Filter Design for a Boeing 747-100/200 Aircraft

We present a fault detection and isolation (FDI) filter design using a linear parameter-varying (LPV) model of the longitudinal dynamics of a Boeing 747 series 100/200. The LPV FDI filter design is based on an extension of the fundamental problem of residual generation concepts elaborated for linear, time-invariant systems. Typically, the FDI filters are designed for open-loop models, and applied in closed loop. An application is shown of an LPV FDI filter for actuator failure detection and isolation in the closed-loop longitudinal LPV system to the full nonlinear Boeing 747 aircraft simulation, which represents the “true” system.
