Title: Intelligent Flight Control System
Designer: David Faust/Graphics
Year it was designed: ~2005
Explanation or story behind the logo: this logo represents NASA F-15 #837 demonstrating the use of neural networks through revolutionary control approaches that could efficiently optimize aircraft performance in normal and failure conditions. The primary goal of the project was to develop adaptive and fault-tolerant flight control systems leading to unprecedented levels of safety and survivability for civil and military aircraft. The IFCS project was a collaborative effort among NASA Dryden Flight Research Center, Edwards, CA; NASA Ames Research Center, Moffett Field, CA; Boeing Phantom Works, St. Louis, MO; the Institute for Scientific Research (ISR), West Virginia University, Fairmont, WV; and the Georgia Institute of Technology.
