Abstract

The integration of flight and propulsion control is an emerging technology that has the potential to offer significant improvements in the mission capabilities of future aircraft systems. Both increased efficiency as well as extended flight and maneuver envelopes have already been demonstrated. There are two main areas of research required to realize fully the benefits of integrating flight and propulsion control. The first is the development of hardware that allows the use of engine air to produce forces and moments about the vehicle axes suitable for high bandwidth attitude control. Thrust vectoring schemes, lift augmentation schemes and direct force/moment control schemes are potential concepts. The second research area is the development of a design approach that will yield integrated control laws.
