From flying toys to flying taxis (2017)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Quads, UAVs, Drones: call them what you will. One thing is clear: power, communications and control technologies have converged to cause a breakthrough in capability and cost, and create a new industry. The usage envelope is now expanding into safety... Read More about From flying toys to flying taxis.

Design of U-PPC-Type II for Nonlinear Systems (2016)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

© 2016 TCCT. In this study, a new U-PPC-Type II (U-model Pole Placement Control Type II) control system design procedure is proposed based on the U-model principle. The objective of a U-PPC-Type II design is to determine a linear controller Gc from a... Read More about Design of U-PPC-Type II for Nonlinear Systems.

Drone avionics (2016)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

MAVs, UAVs, Drones, Quads, call them what you will. These machines are in the news a lot at the moment, and usually for all the wrong reasons. However, one thing is clear: a set of technologies have converged to cause a breakthrough in capability and... Read More about Drone avionics.

Testing of avionics (2015)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

In this talk, Dr Steve Wright discusses some of the tools and methods used for performing Hardware-in-the-Loop testing of aircraft avionics. The talk will discuss the objectives of avionics test, how these tests are performed, and the equipment neede... Read More about Testing of avionics.

Model based testing of avionics (2015)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

A presentation on the use of modelling and simulation, and its role in the testing process for manned aircraft avionics.

Avionics and airborne computing (2015)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

In this talk, Dr Steve Wright looks at how an aircraft’s avionics and their associated sensor/actuator systems can fail (and they do fail), and how these systems are designed to be resilient to these failures in hardware, software and architecture. T... Read More about Avionics and airborne computing.
