Fiber Optics for Flight Control Systems

Harris, Bryan William

Abstract Details

2014, Master of Science (M.S.), University of Dayton, Electrical Engineering.
This paper investigates the use of fiber optic comminucation media in a digital flight control system. A number of recommendations are included to allow reliable use of fiber optics in this application. A proposed fiber optic media, AFDX, is studied using dynamic, real time models. The effect of latency introduced by AFDX is studied for an F-16 aircraft model. Finally, the effect of latency and jitter are correlated using a simpler induction heater model and PID controller.
