An integrated control design methodology has been developed for flight and propulsion control of a fighter aircraft. The approach is one that emphasizes the practical design issues of integrated control. It involves partitioning of the problem into smaller, more conventional design tasks, affording much greater physical insight. It provides a framework within which specialists in each discipline can apply their experience in the design process. Its structure also readily accommodates nonlinear effects that must be factored into any practical design. A thorough evaluation of the resulting control law has been conducted via digital and piloted simulation. This paper focuses on the results of that evaluation, with particular emphasis placed upon the highly coupled aspects of the flight and propulsion control systems. Performance payoffs are demonstrated in the landing phase of flight and at the limits of the air combat regime.
