Abstract

The coverage of this paper, which was presented at an Ordinary Meeting of the Institute held in London on 18 March 1970, includes:

(1) A brief review of current aircraft flight control systems.

(2) A discussion of the benefits to be gained in terms of manual handling and full automatic pilot modes, in using feedback control techniques in the primary flight controls (Manœuvre Demand Control).

(3) A description of the work done on Manœuvre Demand Control at the Royal Aircraft Establishment, Farnborough, in the Avro 707C aircraft and in the Hunter Mk. 12 aircraft.
