The University of Michigan has developed a fixed-wing model aircraft (Solus) with an embedded control system to develop and demonstrate UAV technology. The analytical objective of this project is the development of intelligent flight control and trajectory planning techniques, focusing on automated fault detection and recovery. Our experimental objective is to implement and evaluate these techniques on Solus for a variety of mission and fault scenarios.
