Embry-Riddle partners with private and public entities to assist in developing solutions to today's and tomorrow's aeronautical and aerospace problems. Here at the world's largest aviation-oriented university, our focus on applied research is unique.

Artificial Immune System for Flight Envelope Estimation and Protection

PI Hever Moncayo

This research project, funded by the US Defense Department, represents a collaboration between Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University (ERAU) and West Virginia University (WVU). Two ERAU graduate students are fully involved in this project, one AE PhD student and one Master Student.

The general goal of this research effort is to design and develop a novel biologically inspired framework for flight envelope estimation and protection. The role of such a system consists of evaluating the upset flight conditions including the resulting reduction of the flight envelope and providing information to the pilot and/or the control system for decision making regarding the modification of control and navigation strategies. The successful completion of this project will provide new concepts and technologies that increase situational awareness and improve guidance and control capabilities of aircraft systems.
