ABSTRACT:
An aircraft's horizontal flight path and sideslip angle is controlled in a system having a roll control loop and a yaw control loop. An incremental aileron position command signal is generated in the roll control loop as a function of the sum of a yaw rate error and a sideslip error. An incremental rudder position command signal is generated in the yaw control loop as the function of the difference between these errors. The yaw rate error is determined as a function of a heading error. The manner in which the heading error is computed varies with the control mode in which the system is operating. In the simplest heading mode, the heading error is the difference between a heading command a sensed heading of the aircraft. In the inner loop of the roll control channel, a roll attitude command signal is generated as a function of heading error plus sideslip error. In the inner loop of the yaw control channel, a yaw rate command signal is generated as a function of heading error minus sideslip error. These inner loop command signals are combined with roll angle and yaw rate feedback, respectively, to produce a roll attitude error signal and a yaw rate error signal. The system also provides ground track angle and lateral navigation command modes.
