Task-Oriented Flight Control Systems.

Abstract

Recent developments in data processing are establishing the viability of high-integrity, high-authority full-time electrical flight control systems, which in turn offer a range of new possibilities in the design of the control system and of the complete aircraft. The use of digital processors now allows the control system characteristics to be varied during or between flights to match particular operational needs. This concept of Task-Oriented Control Systems is the subject of this Lecture Series, which aims to present information on the benefits, problems, design and engineering aspects of these new developments, commencing with a state-of-the-art review of modern flight control theory and practice. The contributions are based on the practical experience of the authors and their organisations in several nations. This Lecture Series was recommended by the Guidance and Control Panel of AGARD and is implemented under the Consultant and Exchange Programme. A bibliography of 145 items is included in the publication. (Author)
