New Control System Has What it Takes to Guide Experimental Aircraft

Wednesday, April 29, 2009 - 15:35 in Physics & Chemistry

When a jet is flying faster than the speed of sound, one small mistake can tear it apart. And when the jet is so experimental that it must fly unmanned, only a computer control system can pilot it. Ohio State University engineers have designed control system software that can do just that -- by adapting to changing conditions during a flight.
