A theoretical analysis was made to investigate the performance and acceleration-restriction capabilities of a normal-acceleration command control system in a fighter airplane. Several combinations of pitching velocity and pitching acceleration were investigated as feedback quantities in combination with normal acceleration.

The present study is concerned primarily with methods of reducing or eliminating automatic-interceptor tracking errors that are caused by target maneuvers. The flight-test phase of the study was made with an automatic interceptor system. This system utilized an error integrator in the deflection channel of the automatic system to eliminate steady-state errors caused by steady target maneuvers.
