Abstract :
PROBABLY no other control problem offers so many opportunities for the advantageous application of electronics as the design of equipment for automatic flight control. The type C-1 Autopilot used in the Army´s heavy bombardment aircraft is a typical example of equipment in which the use of electronic devices has produced a flexible well-co-ordinated control system from what was formerly an unwieldy electromechanical machine.
