Zusammenfassung
The rise of innovative and novel fly-by-wire air vehicles like e-VTOLs for Advanced Air Mobility demands flight control systems whose components are low size, weight, power and cost (SWaP-C), but nevertheless offer high performance. One approach towards this mismatch is to use COTS components from e.g. the automotive sector and use their extensive features to enhance performance in a given system architecture. This paper describes one method of minimizing the latency in the communication between two COTS components by using an easily realizable algorithm with minimal memory, code and computation requirements for relative synchronization of the execution cycles of the components. A description of the resulting control problem, as well as simulation results from a dedicated MATLAB simulation environment are given. Those are then compared with an implementation on a representative set of devices from the EPUCOR flight control system.
