Abstract :
The paper describes the method of polynomial matching and its application to a multivariable VSTOL aircraft. The theory of polynomial matching eigenstructure assignment is described, together with the controller structure. The robustness is described over a range of speeds from hover to 200 knots, together with a full speed envelope controller
