    Abstract: An aircraft flight control system including model following control laws includes improved logic and algorithms to limit the error between a desired parameter value from the output of a model and an actual parameter value. Such logic is operable to sense the amount of said parameter error and io limit the amount of the error if it exceeds a predetermined value. The difference between the predetermined limit and the actual error is fed back to the model such that the output of the model is adjusted so that the error between the desired and actual parameter values does not exceed the predetermined value.

    Abstract: A velocity command system is provided with a velocity stabilization mode wherein aircraft flight path referenced velocities are determined with respect to an inertial frame of reference, the flight path referenced velocities are held constant during pilot commanded yaw maneuvers so that the aircraft maintains a fixed inertial referenced flight path regardless of the pointing direction of the aircraft. Velocity control with respect to an inertial frame of reference is accomplished by controlling the aircraft flight path based on aircraft body referenced commanded lateral and longitudinal acceleration and based on aircraft body referenced lateral and longitudinal centrifugal acceleration. Operation in the velocity stabilization mode is provided in response to the manual activation of the velocity stabilization mode by the pilot, provided that the aircraft is already operating in the ground speed mode and the aircraft is not in a coordinated turn.

    Abstract: 2118024 9323715 PCTABScor01 A fire control system (55) azimuth command and elevation command provides a flight control system attitude reference in response to operation of the flight control system in a coupled aiming mode. The coupled aiming mode is engaged in response to the continuous operation of a pilot switch (920), the azimuth command and elevation command being below respective threshold magnitudes (940, 941), and the operation of the fire control system (55). During operation in the coupled aiming mode, the azimuth command and elevation command replace the yaw attitude feedback error signal and pitch attitude error signal, respectively, as the aircraft attitude reference. During integration of the fire control system and the flight control system, the flight control system is made less sensitive to small pilot command stick inputs below a stick input threshold magnitude, so that small or inadvertent pilot commanded yaw and pitch maneuvers will not affect the yaw and pitch attitude reference commanded by the fire control system azimuth and elevation commands. However, intended pilot commanded yaw and pitch maneuvers (70) maintain full authority at all times.

    Abstract: A helicopter flight control system (21) includes a model following control system architecture which automatically provides a coordinating yaw command signal to the helicopter tail rotor to coordinate helicopter flight during a banked turn. The control system processes information from a variety of helicopter sensors (31) in order to provide the coordinating yaw command signal on an output line (72) to the tail rotor (20) of the helicopter.
