Overview

This book provides a single comprehensive resource that reviews many of the current aircraft flight control programmes from the perspective of experienced practitioners directly involved in the projects.

Chapter Content

Each chapter discusses a specific aircraft flight programme covering the control system design considerations, control law architecture, simulation and analysis, flight test optimization and handling qualities evaluations.

Techniques and Results

The programmes described have widely exploited modern interdisciplinary tools and techniques and the discussions include extensive flight test results.

Lessons Learned

Many important lessons learned are included from the experience gained when design methods and requirements were tested and optimized in actual flight demonstration.
