Abstract
This paper describes a generic, state-of-the-art, high-performance aircraft model, including detailed, full-envelope, nonlinear aerodynamics, and full-envelope thrust and first-order engine response data. While this model was primarily developed for the AIAA Controls Design Challenge, the availability of such a model provides a common focus for research in aeronautical control theory and methodology. This paper also describes an implementation of this model using the FORTRAN computer language, associated routines furnished with the aircraft model, and techniques for interfacing these routines to external procedures. Figures showing vehicle geometry, surfaces, and sign conventions are included.
