Abstract

This paper presents selected results authors have reached during research of airspeed control algorithm developed for Single Engine Piston Light (SEPL) aircraft powered by piston engine with constant-pitch propeller in tractor configuration. There are some theoretical discussions about control law’s structure and methods of adjusting them to control plant’s operational features in this paper. Moreover, practical implementation of developed algorithm is described. Finally, results achieved both during computer simulations and flight tests are presented and discussed.
