In October 1994, 22 organisations throughout Europe accepted a challenge to solve a specific robust flight control design problem. The results of that design challenge, presented at the GARTEUR Specialists'' Workshop in Toulouse, France in April 1997, are reported here. Two flight control benchmarks are considered, based on the automatic landing phase of a large cargo aircraft and on the control of a military aircraft. Methods applied include: classical control; multi-objective optimisation; eigenstructure assignment; modal multi-model approach; LQ, Lyapunov and H¿-techniques; ¿-synthesis; nonlinear dynamic inversion; robust inverse dynamics estimation; model predictive control and following; and fuzzy control. Involved in the definition of the benchmarks and the evaluation process have been representatives from the European aeronautical industry, bringing a strong link with flight control law design practice.

Kriegswinter 1944/45. Die Niederlage der Deutschen scheint bereits besiegelt, aber Teile der Niederlande sind noch besetzt. Der 15-jährige Michiel soll einen streng vertraulichen Brief überbringen und wird unfreiwillig in die Aktionen der Widerstandskämpfer verwickelt. Als Michiel eine abgeschossenen englischen Piloten in einem Waldversteck versorgen soll und die Hilfe seiner Schwester braucht, spitzt sich die Lage zu. Ein lebensgefährliches Versteckspiel beginnt, in dem Michiel zu verstehen beginnt, dass er nicht einmal den engsten Bekannten vertrauen kann. Jan Terlouws "Kriegswinter" ist ein atemberaubendes Zeugnis der letzten Kriegsmonate. Ausgehend von eigenen Kindheitserinnerungen schildert Terlouw die dramatische Situation eines Jungen, der mit Verantwortung, Verrat, Enttäuschung und Tod konfrontiert wird.In den Niederlanden längst ein Bestseller, verfilmt für Kino und TV!
