A microprocessor-based flight control system has been built around the F-15 Eagle dual Control Augmentation System. This parallel-processing system is flight-worthy, and has supported the research and development of various software mechanizations, including floating point and the Pascal high order language. The advantages and limitations of parallel processing systems are discussed. The features of microprocessors that portend their increased use in flight control applications are assessed. The advantages of floating point arithmetic are described, along with a software algorithm that makes floating point practical. Pascal is discussed from two standpoints: software productivity and compiler efficiency.
