The provision of STOVL capability and a Supersonic capability in a small combat aircraft simultaneously introduces design and operational penalties, freedoms and complexities. The respective minimization, exploitation, and simplification of these represents a unique challenge, which must be met in order to maximise overall cost-effectiveness. The key to this lies in the full exploitation of the potential for powerplant/airframe integration of the advanced STOVL aircraft, via the integrated Flight/Powerplant Control System (IFPCS).The overall design philosophy and control strategies of the IFPCS are highlighted and discussed with particular reference to the single-engined vectoring nozzle aircraft.
