Abstract

This chapter investigates the use of Model Based Predictive Control (MBPC), together with more conventional control based on H loop-shaping, to implement an autopilot for the RCAM which performs flight management in addition to stability augmentation and guidance. We believe that MBPC represents a technology which should be considered in the transition from stability augmentation to flight management systems.
