Paper Title
Improved Multi-Computer Architecture for Fault Tolerance (MAFT) for Ultra Dependable Real Time Computers of Flight Control System Architecture For Performance Improvement
Abstract
This paper presents proposed improvements to Multi-computer Architecture for Fault Tolerance (MAFT) and
same will be adopted for advanced Flight Control System (FCS) Architecture of high performance fighter aircraft. This
paper identifies the areas of MAFT where improvements are possible with current technologies and brings out associated
benefits in fly-by-wire Digital Distributed Flight Control System applications. Paper also brings out augmented MAFT for
enhanced fault tolerance for robustness of the system architecture.
