Self-Repairing Flight Control System (SRFCS) technology is an extension of traditional redundancy management. It uses existing redundancy in aircraft control surfaces to compensate for control surface failures and battle damage effects. This report describes the results of flight tests of a SRFCS, coded in Ada for an Unmanned Research Vehicle (URV). This includes a description of the design of the control reconfiguration method, the Failure Detection (FDI) method, the Ada code, the URV model, data analysis of the flight test time histories, and the computational aspects of the algorithms. Time history plots of selected flight test results are included in this report and acceptable performance was achieved for all the failure cases which were flown....
