| dc.description.abstract | This Systems Engineering project report discusses the design and implementation of automatic flight controls. The general airplane equations of motion are developed and used to calculate transfer functions for a Cessna 172 airplane. Automatic controllers were designed for four common autopilot modes (pitch control, altitude hold, roll control, and heading hold). Implementation of a flight control design was accomplished using single degree of freedom roll equations for a model airplane wing. The feedback compensation design was ground tested in a simulated wind tunnel and met performance requirements. All the elements of automatic flight control design are described in this report. | en |
