The Upper Surface Blowing STOL experimental aircraft, ASKA, operates well on the backside of the power required curve, so flight path control is accomplished with the throttle lever (thrust) during landing approaches. To compensate for the sluggish flight path response caused by engine lag, the Flight Path Control (FPC) law puts in Stability and Control Augmentation System (SCAS). Flight tests were conducted to evaluate flight path and airspeed response characteristics. The paper describes ASKA's flight path and airspeed response characteristics, as well as the principle involved in the design and construction of the FPC system.
