This paper will describe a real time piloted simulation of algorithms designed for on-board computation of time-optimal intercept trajectories for an F-8 aircraft. The algorithms, which were derived using singular perturbation theory, generate commands that are displayed to the pilot on flight director needles on the 8-ball. By flying the airplane so as to zero the horizontal and vertical needles, the pilot flies an approximation to a time-optimal intercept trajectory. The various display and computation modes that are available will be described and results will be presented illustrating the performance of the algorithms with a pilot in the loop.
