Disclosed is a vertical flight path angle steering system for aircraft, utilizing a digital flight control computer which processes pilot control inputs and aircraft response parameters into suitable elevator commands and control information for display to the pilot on a cathode ray tube. The system yields desirable airplane control handling qualities and responses as well as improvements in pilot workload and safety during airplane operation in the terminal area and under windshear conditions.

An aircraft control and display system providing computer augmented manual steering capability comprising: control reference means for receiving and processing a signal representative of the pilot\s steering input to develop a control reference signal which is proportional to the time integral of said pilot\s steering input; aircraft sensing means for sensing and supplying a signal representative of the controlled state of the aircraft; control command means for processing said control reference signal and said signal representative of the controlled state of the aircraft to produce a control surface command that automatically controls the craft\s dynamics to smoothly bring the controlled state to track the control reference value; and display means for displaying said control reference value and said controlled state of said craft to the pilot.
