The flight performance optimization algorithms, developed with energy state approximation approach, are first introduced, the functionally integrated flight path/speed control system, so called total energy control system (TECS), is then discussed, and the guidance technique and algorithms, which relate the performance optimization results directly with the TECS, are analyzed and developed. Digital simulation results for a specific transport aircraft model demonstrate the satisfactory performances of the resulted flight performance management system.展开更多
