In 2009-10 I conducted a project:

United States Air Force European Office of Aeronautical Research and Development

EOARD is a funding agency that supports basic research throughout European region. EOARD is a field office of the Air Force Office of Scientific Research (AFOSR), located in Arlington, VA., USA.

Sensor Fusion, Prognostics, Diagnostics and Failure Mode Control for Complex systems

One of the outputs from the project was the journal paper:

Gladwin D., Stewart P., Parr M. and Stewart J.,

“Multiobjective evolutionary-fuzzy augmented flight controller for an F16 Aircraft.”

Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, Part G: Journal of Aerospace Engineering. Vol.224, No.3, pp 293-309, 2010.

This paper was awarded the IMechE Charles Sharpe Beecher Prize for best aerospace paper 2010.

The project was conducted on the CueSim flight simulator while I was a member of staff at Sheffield University. The flight simulator supported activities in our Aerospace degrees, and I ran Aeropace Masters projects and research projects on it. It was early on in the development of flightsims, but was an immersive experience with electrically actuated 6DoF mode.
