Abstract

See full text

An aircraft control system that simultaneously controls vertical speed (or flight path angle) and airspeed or Mach number by supplying the vertical speed (or flight path angle) command to the autothrottle system and the airspeed or Mach command to the autopilot pitch channel. A thrust reference computer provides an approximation of the thrust required to maintain the reference vertical speed (or flight path angle) and a vertical speed error signal in closed loop fashion provides a vernier adjustment to the approximation to provide the autothrottle channel command.
