The aim of the program is to design flight control laws to give fly by wire civil transport aircraft excellent flying qualities at all flight conditions. The most critical flight phase of a civil transport is the landing approach. An analysis of the C(star) parameter is presented. The C(star) criterion was one of the first handling qualities criteria designed to take account of advanced aerodynamic designs of modern aircraft and higher order systems introduced by flight control systems. Several aircraft have since employed control laws based around the C(star) parameter. A proportional feedback C(star) controller was applied to a Boeing 747-100 in landing approach configuration, and assessed against the C(star) criterion.
