Tools that lead to effective control strategies for tailless fighter aircraft were developed. Emphasis was placed on the development of control algorithms that yield robust performance in the presence of actuator magnitude and rate limits and that account for the interaction of a pilot with the airframe and control system. Numerous new analysis tools for nonlinear control systems were developed, with an emphasis on disturbance attenuation and sampled data control. Previously developed algorithms for control (especially anti- windup control) in the presence of actuator rate and magnitude limits were extended. The algorithms were applied to the manual flight control problem for open loop unstable fighter aircraft.
