Is Real-Time, On-Line Optimal Flight Control Feasible

Abstract

The document discusses an edited transcript of a special panel discussion 'Is Real-Time, On-line Optimal Flight Control Feasible' held by the Theory Committee of the American Automatic Control Council on 5 August 1969 in conjunction with the 1969 Joint Automatic Control Conference, at Boulder, Colorado. The panel considered the problems associated with controlling an aircraft in such a way as to optimize some performance criterion. Specific subjects discussed include optimization theory and techniques, aerospace computer technology, and numerical procedures. A description of a current NASA project in this area is presented. Comments from the audience are also presented.
