This symposium covers the applications of novel analytical and experimental methods for the analysis and prediction of the flight dynamics of planes, drones, launch vehicles, spacecraft, helicopters, etc.

In particular the following topics will be addressed:

• Mission analysis and flight management: optimization of flight, on-board mission planning, advanced guidance, system requirements
• Navigation: autonomous, relative or aided navigation, sensor fusion and filtering, trajectory and attitude estimation, vision based navigation
• Control techniques: robust control, non-linear control, MIMO, control optimal control, neural networks, fuzzy logic, rule-based techniques, general load alleviation
• System architecture and avionics: redundancy management, health monitoring, FDIR, fault tolerance, man machine interface, modular avionics, innovative hardware
• Performance assessment and flight simulations: analytical methods, statistical methods, pilot-in-the-loop, robustness assessment, functional testing optimization
• Flight and ground tests: qualification, certification, post test analysis
• On board software: formal proof, automatic coding, fault tolerance, safety, automatic testing, optimisation of number of tests
