HIDEC, a NASA sponsored program to develop and flight demonstrate integrated flight propulsion control modes on a McDonnell Douglas F-15 Eagle aircraft, is underway. Two high payoff integrated modes are being developed. The Trajectory Control/Energy Management mode will not only demonstrate increased weapon system effectiveness through fuel savings and increased intercept ranges, but will also serve as a stepping stone to other trajectory control applications such as terrain following-terrain avoidance and automated air combat. The Variable Operating Line mode will demonstrate benefits of increased thrust without increasing engine size and weight. The flight control and engine control modifications made to implement these modes will also support future NASA programs for optimizing flight propulsion control interactions.
