Aerospace Engineering Final Year Topic: Investigation of Flight Control Sensor Delay

This Aerospace Engineering final year project investigates comparing stability of a fictional attitude loop with delayed measurements using a non-operational civil aerospace model, permitted teaching data or explicitly fictional system evidence.

Why choose this project topic?

The topic turns comparing stability of a fictional attitude loop with delayed measurements into a bounded aerospace analysis with traceable assumptions. Comparing tracking error, phase margin and settling time gives a student a clear route to technical figures, model verification and a critical discussion of the gap between a teaching study and operational performance.

How do the selected aerospace modelling or system assumptions affect tracking error, phase margin and settling time when comparing stability of a fictional attitude loop with delayed measurements?

Choose a documented teaching model or fictional civil aerospace case, then agree the parameter ranges and validation method for comparing stability of a fictional attitude loop with delayed measurements.

Proposed project objectives

  1. 01Define the civil teaching model, assumptions and evidence needed for comparing stability of a fictional attitude loop with delayed measurements.
  2. 02Use a published teaching plant, vary sensor delay and controller gains and evaluate bounded disturbance responses.
  3. 03Compare tracking error, phase margin and settling time and document uncertainty and operational limits.

A suggested research approach

Use a published teaching plant, vary sensor delay and controller gains and evaluate bounded disturbance responses. Confirm data permission and keep the work separate from operational flight systems. Record units and model validity ranges, verify calculations against a reference, and report tracking error, phase margin and settling time with sensitivity checks rather than presenting a single output as certified performance.

What you will need

  • Teaching flight model
  • Control simulation software
  • Synthetic delay scenarios

Keep your project scope clear

The controller must not be connected to a flying aircraft or represented as flight-certified.
