【 摘 要 】

Learn-to-Fly (L2F) is an advanced technology development effort aimed at assessing the feasibility of real-time, self-learning flight vehicles. Specifically, research has been conducted on merging real-time aerodynamic modeling, learning adaptive control, and other disciplines with the goal of using this “learn to fly” methodology to replace the current iterative vehicle development paradigm, substantially reducing the typical ground and flight testing requirements for air vehicle design. Recent activities included an aggressive flight test program with unique fully autonomous fight test vehicles to rapidly advance L2F technology. This paper presents an overview of the project and key components.
