This paper presents a flight envelope protection system for NASA’s Transport Class Model. The developed protection scheme is based on a command-limiting architecture that accounts for aircraft adverse aerodynamics, unusual attitude, and structural integrity and is designed to augment a standard gain-scheduled flight control law. The scheme also includes an energy protection system, which relies on an automatic throttle control loop that implements a total energy control law. In the setup adopted, the limits of the protected envelopes are actively adjusted to ensure, on the one hand, that the aircraft always stays in a safe flight condition and, on the other hand, that the pilot has enough control authority to perform aggressive maneuvers, if needed. Batch simulations demonstrate the efficacy of the protection system in maintaining the aircraft within desired safe conditions.
