Abstract :
Control integration makes engineering and business sense, to reduce cost and design cycling time, and to improve performance. We select two specific autopilot control channels, namely the pitch attitude and speed control, to investigate the special design challenges that one may face during system integration. Two integration approaches are proposed, and compared through an example of Boeing 747 transport. The simulation results justify the theoretical analysis
