Thrust-induced effects on a pitching-up delta wing flow field : control of stalled wings /

Neural network procedures were explored with the objectives to control a delta wing in the non-linear domain. Results show that neural networks are well suited to represent non-linear computed lift and pressure forces on delta wings. A model problem, the flare maneuver, suggests that neural network controllers can perform well for non-linear systems provided that suitable input and training data are provided to it. ; Photocopy. ; Final report for period: 94/09/01 - 95/08/31. ; "95/11/22." ; Includes bibliographical references. ; Neural network procedures were explored with the objectives to control a delta wing in the non-linear domain.
