Abstract
The guidance technique for optimal vertical flight trajectory with a total energy control system (TECS) is discussed. The flight profile is optimized based on the point-mass energy state approximation model of aircraft with direct operating cost as its index function. The guidance law is developed with the total energy control concept used in TECS. To improve the guidance precision, several methods are adopted in the optimization and tracking process, and two preprocessing algorithms, the lead-compensation algorithm and the smooth filtering algorithm, are developed for the ideal optimal trajectory. Satisfactory digital simulation results for a Boeing-707 transport model are finally obtained.
