  • Abstract
    Motivates the combined use of H loop-shaping and model based predictive control (MBPC) as a method for designing automatic pilots for civil aircraft. The H loop-shaping controller will provide stability augmentation and guidance. The MBPC controller will act as a flight manager. The design procedure developed was tested by designing an autopilot for the Research Civil Aircraft Model (RCAM) used in the GARTEUR design challenge. The resulting controller was subjected to a standard evaluation procedure. Satisfactory results were achieved
