Pitch rate command and normal G command longitudinal flight control systems were designed using linear optimal control theory for a statically unstable, two control surface, fighter-type aircraft at both a power approach and an up-and-away flight condition. The closed-loop systems were then evaluated in man-in-the-loop simulations with pilots attempting random altitude tracking and pitch tracking tasks. The evaluation results indicated that in the power approach flight condition, normal G command was more suitable for altitude tracking and pitch rate command was preferred for pitch tracking. Results for the up-and-away flight condition were inconclusive.
