“…We know that it is very important to recognize that any faulttolerance effect via a control action, regardless of the control strategy applied, is achieved through management of redundancy in the controlled process, such as use of secondary effectors, measurements, transmission buses, etc. Our research leads up to decentralize architecture of the system [12]. But it operates based on a hierarchical way of taking conclusions.…”

The main task presented in this paper is connected with increasing the reliability of fly‐by‐wire control systems. The control systems feature a high degree of automatization and employ an intuitive, human‐centered way of piloting, makings the aircraft pilot‐friendly. But the most important feature of these control systems is safety. Increasing reliability is strongly connected with growth in safety. The high degree of automatization enables the use of different kinds of reconfiguration as an active method of increasing reliability. In this paper, special attention is paid to methods of fault detection and isolation, especially in sensors and actuators connected to the fly-by-wire system. These methods are necessary to build a fault tolerant control system.

The development of informatics and sensor techniques has extended the possibilities of flight parameter measurement. It allows for extensive modification of control and navigation systems in air vehicles. This advance can also be noticed in the research of the Department of Avionics and Control at the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering and Aeronautics, Rzeszow University of Technology. Research in the area of digital flight control systems was initiated at the Department of Avionics and Control over twenty years ago.

“…The first control system for UAV was designed in 1995 and next a few different projects were done [6][7][8]. Besides, the remote control task of UAV is similar to indirect flight control systems (Fly-by-Wire) designed by a Department team [9][10][11].…”

Remote manual control of unmanned aerial vehicle is used more often during takeof and landing phases. Depends on UAV take-off mass and speed (total energy) the potential crash can be very dangerous for an airplane and environment. So, handling qualities of UAV is important from the user point of view. In many cases the dynamic properties of remote controlling UAV are not suitable for obtaining the desired properties of the handling qualities from operator's point of view. In this case, the control augmentation system (CAS) should be applied. The method of UAV handling qualities shaping is presented in this paper. The main idea of this method is that UAV reaction on the operator steering signals should be similaralmost the same -as the reaction of the "ideal" remote control aircraft. The model of following method was used for controller parameters calculations. The numerical example concerns the medium size UAV MP-02A Czajka applied as an aerial observer system.
