This report contains an overview of the fundamental aspects of manual flight path control as they relate to existing STOL aircraft concepts. The interrelationship between performance capability, represented for example by the glide slope polar, and path dynamic stability and control are identified. Several examples of path control problems are illustrated to substantiate the analytical discussion. A review of contemporary STOL propulsive lift concepts is given and the design features including augmentation aspects affecting manual path control are examined briefly. A mathematical model is defined which is suitable for simulation of flight path properties of the various STOL concepts.
