Abstract

A predictive flight path display providing guidance information in a 3-dimensional format is considered for improving trajectory control in hypersonic flight. The display image shows a tunnel and a predicted aircraft position the purpose of which is to support the pilot in controlling the flight path. The displayed 3D imagery is considered to avoid conventional control technique problems caused by path-attitude decoupling. For achieving this goal,a predictor control law is designed which yields controlled element properties (predictor-aircraft system) requiring minimum pilot compensation. Results from hypersonic flight simulation experiments are presented for verification.
