A Real-Time Simulation Evaluation of an Advanced Detection, Isolation and Accommodation Algorithm for Sensor Failures in Turbine Engines

An Advanced sensor failure Detection, Isolation, and Accommodation (ADIA) algorithm has been developed for use with an aircraft turbofan engine control system. In a previous paper the authors described the ADIA algorithm and its real-time implementation. This paper discusses subsequent improvements made to the algorithm and implementation, and presents the results of an evaluation. The evaluation used a real-time, hybrid computer simulation of an F100 turbofan engine.
