ABSTRACT:
This invention provides a system for enhancing the performance of an aircraft during flight. The aircraft, which includes at least two control surfaces, such as stabilon and trailing edge flaps, includes devices for: generating a signal representative of the optimum normal acceleration from signals representative of the aircraft's flight status, generating a signal representative of the aircraft's actual normal acceleration, comparing the optimum signal to the actual signal, and generating a command to alter the position of either one or both of the aircraft's control surfaces to reduce any differences between the optimum and actual normal acceleration signals.
