Abstract
The paper presents the results of the search for a unified solution to the problem of constructing an automatic control system for aircraft with various aerodynamic configurations. The structure of an aircraft motion control system based on a total energy control method in the longitudinal channel and a full heading control method in the lateral channel is presented. The results of motion simulations for several aircraft models with a control system are presented, demonstrating combined control of the longitudinal flight path and speed, coordinated turns, compensation for dynamic and static thrust asymmetry, and priority speed control when approaching thrust limits. The research results confirm the possibility of creating an effective aircraft control system based on the total energy method.
