This PhD dissertation deals with Fault-Tolerant Flight Control System as applied to Bell-205 Helicopter which was a platform for earlier research on design of control laws using modern robust control techniques. Earlier research was focusing on control law design, simulation, and flight testing. This thesis has applied the general concept in Fault- Tolerant Control on the vehicle and built Fault Detection, Isolation, and Accommodation (FDIA) for the sensors using actual Flight Test Data (FTD) and the results was validated against other FTD data sets and found quite satisfactory. In an...
