This paper details the industrial challenges, goals and objectives of the European Framework 7th project termed “REconfiguration of CONtrol in Flight for Integral Global Upset REcovery” (RECONFIGURE). This project aims at investigating and developing advanced aircraft Guidance, Navigation and Control (GNC) technologies that facilitate the automated handling of off-nominal events and optimize the aircraft status and flight. These technologies will extend the operation of the current GNC functionalities that assist the pilot and optimize the aircraft performance. Thus, the aim is to provoke a change in aircraft transport towards: “Full-time, all-event availability of performance-enhancement electrical fly-by-wire”. Three key enablers have been identified for moving towards this new paradigm: Flight Parameter Estimation, Fault Detection and Diagnosis, and Fault Tolerant Control.
