Control reconfiguration with actuator rate saturation

Online system identification and online optimization is used to maximize aircraft tracking performance before and after control surface failure, yet prevent departure. The online optimization consists of receding horizon/model predictive optimal control with one-step-ahead actuator rate constraint enforcement. Such hard constraint enforcement is rigorous through use of a linear programming algorithm to include rate saturation in the design.
