16. Abstract
An effort is underway at Ames Research Center to develop techniques for the unified design of multimode, variable authority automatic flight-control systems for powered-lift STOL and VTOL aircraft. This report describes a structure for such systems which has been developed to deal with the strong nonlinearities inherent in this class of aircraft, to admit automatic coupling with advanced air traffic control requiring accurate execution of complex trajectories, and to admit a variety of active control tasks. The specific case being considered is the augmentor wing jet STOL research aircraft.
