Ways in which automatic flight control can reduce fuel consumption were investigated. Three domains were identified: (1) thrust optimization, (2) optimization of in-flight aerodynamic configuration, and (3) flight plan optimization. The use of flight management computers to achieve these goals is discussed and recently developed equipment is depicted. System design and functions are explained. The choice of performance optimization criteria (cost index) is considered. How a flight management computer deals with horizontal navigation is treated as an example.
