Application of H-infinity Fault Detection and Isolation to a Boeing 747-100/200 Aircraft

Fault Detection and Isolation (FDI) methods have been developed over the past thirty years but only in the last several years they have been applied to complex real applications. This paper presents a synthesis of H∞ FDI filters for the longitudinal motion of the Boeing 747-100/200 aircraft. The filters are synthesized to detect and isolate faults in the elevator actuator and pitch rate sensor while attenuating disturbances and noise on the fault signals. They are synthesized for open-loop LTI models of the aircraft. Closed-loop simulations with a highfidelity nonlinear model in the presence of gust and noise are performed to validate the disturbance rejection and robust properties of the H∞ LTI FDI filters.
