Optimal control algorithms for four-dimensional guidance of a transport aircraft were investigated for feasibility. Cost function constraints on the optimal reference path generator appeared impossible to achieve and the optimal guidance algorithms do not achieve significant performance improvement without excessive increases in sophistication and cost of the onboard avionics computer. A modularized existing Mission Management system allows a three-phase flight test plan to demonstrate the operational capability of the existing classical integrated flight trajectory control algorithms.
