Abstract:

This paper discusses a control philosophy appropriate to future jet VSTOL aircraft. This lends naturally to the integration of flight and engine control systems. The potential benefits of this class of system are stated and integration aspects, both in terms of control laws and at the hardware level, are considered. Some of the areas surrounding this approach to VSTOL control are outlined.
