The objective is to flight test control laws
designed by modern robust and nonlinear multivariable methods.
The control laws will be implemented on Production Support Flight
Control Computers (PSFCC), developed at Dryden.
This is a collaborative project with A. Sideris (UCI) and J.
Carter (Dryden).
