Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A flight control system includes a command model modified in response to a Life Improving Control (LIC) algorithm. An inverse aircraft model is in communication with the command model to generate a flight control system command to command an aircraft state. A feedback path from the command model and the aircraft state is also modified in response to the Life Improving Control (LIC) algorithm.
