"This is a good paper on the UKF, how it is implemented, and how it compares to the EKF.
It's a bit difficult in places because the UKF is more complicated to set up, but I think there's enough there to get at least a basic understanding of the…"

"Hi Hugues, That's a good question. The differences I see between this system and the EKF that is already used are:
1) The EKF uses kinematic equations since it does not know the aircraft it is placed on. For example, it can use the current pitch…"

"@Muscate Thanks for the kind words!
I agree that many expensive aircraft have these, and like you said they typically have fixed parameters for these limiters which makes them a bit constrained. For example, even modern F-16 variants have two flight…"

"@Marcus I would say that's the goal :)
Another way to look at it is that since it takes possible disturbances into account, this sort of system may be used to safely fly in more gust-prone conditions than would otherwise be possible."

Our research group (Ofer Eldad, Andrew Alexander, and Christian Claudel) at the University of Texas at Austin has implemented a supervisory control algorithm we developed to protect the flight envelope with either human control or autopilot. Our…
