A quantitative feedback synthesis technique is used to design a lateral flight controller for a horizontal translation maneuver. The technique, which is performed in the frequency domain, uses feedback to achieve the desired system response despite parameter variation. A computer program generates an aircraft model for several flight conditions. The aircraft model includes canards (vertical and horizontal), ailerons, rudders, maneuvering flaps and jet flaps. These models are simplified to three input-three output systems. A single controller is designed for all of the flight conditions. Robustness is accomplished by considering parameter variation throughout the design method. The design is simulated and the results presented. The method used is presented. A discussion of the results is presented, including suggestions on improvements to the design. Recommendations for further investigations are provided.
