Abstract :
The technique of ℋ∞ loop-shaping is used to design a robust integrated flight and propulsion controller for an experimental STOVL aircraft configuration, based on the Harrier T.Mk 10 airframe with a Rolls Royce Spey engine. Performance properties of the integrated controller are validated via nonlinear simulation
