The objective of this research was to develop tools leading to effective control strategies for tailless fighter aircraft. Emphasis was placed on the development of control algorithms that yield robust performance in the presence of actuator magnitude and rate limits and that account for the interaction of a pilot with the airframe and control system. The results of this research are documented in the 22 papers that are listed in this report. These papers present the development of numerous new analysis tools for nonlinear control systems with an emphasis on disturbance attenuation and sampled data control. These algorithms were applied to the manual flight control problem for open loop unstable fighter aircraft.
