Current design techniques applied to aircraft flight control systems have been surveyed and the increasing use of modern control theory in the control system design of experimental technology demonstrator aircraft is described. The modern control system design methodology is seen to be particularly suitable for application to the design of controllers for complex, multivariable aircraft systems which are composed of dynamically interacting subsystems. These will typically include the flight control, propulsion, and weapon systems. Some suggestions regarding the most appropriate form of future ARL involvement in this large and expanding area are made.
