Abstract

The implementation of an on-board flight control system must be preceded by extensive design activity. The software implementation, test and maintenance effort might be sig- nificantly reduced by using carefully designed software. The design procedure itself is also a complex activity, several requirements, constraints must be considered in order to generate an appropriate, well detailed and easily implementable design. The design task is even more complicated when the aircraft has some special features like the capability of vertical take-off and landing. In this case the software must be able to handle the di- versity of flight modes where the aircraft behaviour in each mode is unique. This article presents the main aspects of the design procedure.
