INTRODUCTION
• The issues of reliability, affordability, safety and
system integrity have turn out to be progressively
imperative as the mishap in the aircraft is increasing
because of the system malfunctions
• It is important to identify the occurrence of faulty
conditions in the aircraft and to isolate these faults
• By enabling the fault diagnosis strategy for aircraft
engine can remarkably enhance the flight safety
OBJECTIVES
• To design an efficient model of aircraft in Matlab
and simulate the designed model in Simulink
• To design an efficient control law to achieve
specific performance of the aircraft mode
• To design an efficient model of a two shaft
engine turbine engine in Simulink
• To design an efficient algorithm for the aircraft
engine to detect its faults and to isolate these
faults
AIRCRAFT STABILITY
• Stable if it returns back to its original equilibrium
state after a small perturbing displacement, without
the pilot intervening.

• The aircraft’s response arises purely from the

inherent design.
STATIC STABILITY
Airplane is statically stable when it returns to the
original steady flight condition after a small
disturbance; statically unstable when it continues to
move away from the original steady flight condition
upon a disturbance.
NEUTRAL STABILITY
Neutrally stable when it remains steady in a new
condition upon a disturbance.
DYNAMIC STABILITY
• The airplane may converge continuously back to the
original steady flight state; it may overcorrect and
then converge to the original configuration in a
oscillatory manner; or it can diverge completely and
behave uncontrollably, in which case the pilot is well-
advised to intervene.
IMPLEMENTATION
• For any type of aircraft the first step in obtaining
the accurate mathematical model is to determine
stability and control derivatives
• Using the laws of kinetic and kinematic the
equation of motion of the aircraft is derived and
linearized about longitudinal equilibrium
• Final model is simulated in Simulink
