| Description | Stochastic control theory is applied to the problem of designing a digital flight compensator for terminal guidance along a helical flight path as a prelude to landing. The development of aircraft, wind, and measurement models is discussed along with a control scheme consisting of feedback gains multiplying estimate of the aircraft and wind states obtained from a Kalman one step predictor. Preliminary results are presented which indicate that the compensator performs satisfactorily in the presence of both steady winds and gusts. |
