Abstract

A new controller design method of lateral-directional dynamics is proposed. This method is based on the formulated pilot model, and the controller is designed so that the pilot-aeroplane system attains the desired requirements. Robust stabilities and handling qualities can be taken into account. The proposed method was applied to B747 dynamics, and flight simulator experiments were performed, and the designed controller was verified.
