Abstract
A machine and process for control of rotation of a vehicle about an axis of the vehicle is shown. A flight control system includes control laws that control the rotation of the vehicle around the axis of the vehicle. An estimate is derived for an inertia about the axis. The estimated inertia is derived from sensed quantities of material in a component of the vehicle. An inertia gain schedule and filter are added to enhance, using the estimated inertia, the accuracy of the control laws that control the rotation of the vehicle around the axis of the vehicle.
