Abstract
A predictor is an efficient means to enhance the novel guidance and control capabilities possible with a perspective flightpath display. Pilot-centered requirements are considered for achieving best performance for compensatory control of the aircraft-predictor system as the controlled element. In a synthesis of a predictor with circular path continuation, it is shown which are the effects on pilot-predictor-aircraft system crossover, system stability and system bandwidth. Further, it is shown that the predictor is also an efficient means for controlling the current state of the aircraft. Piloted simulation experiments yield a verification of the above issues. Finally, it is shown that there is a close similarity between predictor and flight director systems for compensatory control.
