An extended model-following control-synthesis method, including loop-transfer recovery, is presented and applied to synthesize control laws for integrated flight and propulsion control (IFPC). The vehicle considered is representative of an unstable modern fighter aircraft; with a two-dimensional thrust-vectoring and thrust-reversing nozzle. The linearized design model includes both airframe and engine dynamics. A model-following formulation of the LQR problem is extended to handle this hybrid problem. Compensators are then obtained to realize an output-feedback control law, by using a loop-transfer-recovery procedure. The airframe and engine responses are decoupled, and perfect airframe response following is obtained. The loop transfers also reveal good stability robustness and reasonable loop cross-over frequencies that would not lead to excessive actuation requirements.
