A remotely-controlled aircraft comprises a sensor for sensing the actual rate-of-turn of the aircraft and for generating a rate-of-turn signal proportional thereto, which signal, inherently also proportional to the actual bank-angle of the aircraft, is applied to the aileron drive as a negative feedback signal with the bank-angle command signal to thereby stabilize the bank-angle of the aircraft. The aircraft includes a further sensor for sensing the actual rate-of-climb of the aircraft and for generating a rate-of-climb signal proportional thereto, which latter signal, inherently also proportional to the actual pitch-angle of the aircfaft, is applied to the elevator drive as a negative feedback signal with the pitch-angle command signal to thereby stabilize the pitch-angle of the aircraft.

A remotely-controlled aircraft, comprising: ailerons and a drive therefor for controlling the roll changes of the aircraft; elevators and a drive therefor for controlling the pitch changes of the aircraft; a receiver for receiving, from a remotely-located transmitter, a bank-angle command signal to be applied to the aileron drive for controlling the aircraft roll changes, and a pitch-angle command signal to be applied to the elevator drive for controlling the aircraft pitch changes; a sensor for sensing the actual rate-of-climb of the aircraft and for generating a rate-of-climb signal proportional thereto, which latter signal is inherently also proportional to the actual pitch-angle of the aircraft; and means for applying said rate-of-climb signal to the elevator drive as a negative feedback signal with said pitch-angle command signal to thereby position stabilize the pitch-angle of the aircraft.
