Abstract:

An innovative approach is proposed which would add adaptive features to current angle-of-attack
and load-factor-limiter concepts to aid pilots in energy and agility management during
operation of high-performance aircraft. The agility management system would be scheduled
with aircraft motion quantities to give the pilot improved control and cuing of turn
rate and excess specific power. It would be applicable to any high-performance aircraft,
current or future, which has a flight control system with sufficient sensed quantities
available.

Potential Commercial Application:

Potential Commercial Applications:  This innovation would be of interest to suppliers
of aircraft, flight control systems, and propulsion systems.
