Abstract

In this paper an artificial Neural Network (NN) is used to control an aircraft along a predetermined trajectory. The inverse dynamics concept is used. Two NN models are used: one for forward identification NNI) nd he ther ne or nverse odel identification and forward control (NNC). After training of both models the NNC is used as a forward controller to the aircraft model. The simulation results shows good agreement between required and achieved trajectory.
