Analysis and Control of Civilian Aircraft Model Using Simulink [PECS] 2020

Abstract

According to the study carried out in the year 2018 by BOEING on October 24, a Lion Air Flight 610 which was a BOEING 737 MAX Aircraft was crashed into Java Sea after 13 min after Take-Off killing all 189 passengers including crew members with 1 Rescue Diver. Afterwards in 2019 on March 29, a Ethiopian Air Flight 302 which was also a BOEING 737 MAX Aircraft was also crashed near the Town of Bishoftu after 6 min of Take-Off killing all 157 passengers aboard. There were many conclusions that were drawn by analyzing both the crashes that were there was faults in stability system as it does not amended the incorrect reading from Faulty Angle Of Attack Sensors from which it was taking the information. Also there were some faults in Angle of Attack sensors also as they did not provide the correct reading to the Stability Systems Lastly as it was a newly upgraded Aircraft so its engine was made a little larger for increasing the fuel capacity but that in turn shifted the Center Of Gravity as its placement was also on the Aft side of the wing, hence the Plane crashed. This study provides analysis of the Aircraft Model that maneuvers in Unstable Environment like Gust Winds and controls its altitude using SIMULINK in MATLAB.
