Aerospace Engineering and Applications

Aerospace Engineering and Applications is a research topic within Control and Systems Engineering. Science Explorer counts 2.3k research works in it since 1950. 10.1% of them reached the world's top 10% most cited for their field and year.

This cluster of papers focuses on the application of model reference adaptive control in engineering systems, particularly in the context of small turbojet engines. It explores techniques such as robust fixed point transformations, fuzzy models, intelligent situational control, and genetic algorithms for adaptive control. The cluster also delves into topics related to deep learning, output prediction, and the use of unmanned aerial vehicles for aircraft maintenance.
