Abstract

Technologically improved vehicle control systems and methods are described. The provided vehicle control systems and methods embody an inner loop auto-throttle control for causing delta-throttle changes, i.e., servo changes, to achieve desired acceleration targets. The system generates an error on a potential flight path angle using a received thrust acceleration command. The error on the potential flight path angle is converted into an equivalent acceleration. A throttle rate command TLA_ratecmd is generated by converting the equivalent acceleration into the throttle rate command TLA_ratecmd.
