Abstract :
The design of the control of an aircraft encountering windshear after takeoff is treated as a problem of stabilizing the climb rate about a desired value of the climb rate. The resulting controller is a feedback one utilizing only climb rate information. Its robustness namely windshear structure and intensity is illustrated via simulations employing four different windshear models. The simulations were carried out for the Boeing 727 aircraft
