Abstract :
Presents a brief overview of an intelligent aircraft control architecture (based upon previously defined “levels of intelligent control”, Krishnakumar, 1997). The control system is used to provide stability augmentation, tracking control, and path generation for a 6 DOF numerical aircraft model with full-envelope nonlinear aerodynamics, as well as nonlinear kinematics, and a first order full-envelope thrust model
