✦ Synopsis
This paper is a summary of an e!ort to evaluate a high-performance #ight control system in a piloted simulation. A #ight control system was designed for the VISTA F-16 using the techniques of quantitative feedback theory. Quantitative feedback theory is a robust frequency domain design technique that provided for the incorporation of handling qualities in the design speci"cations. The design was accomplished as a Master's thesis, and addresses the subsonic #ight envelope including changes in con"guration. Handling qualities were evaluated in a high-"delity, manned simulation of the system. The resulting system would require a few re"nements to meet level 1 handling quality speci"cations.
