Abstract
A system for providing an optimum lift demand signal for aircraft maneuvers such as "go-around" includes a computer for generating a reference angle of attack signal which is functionally related to the aircraft's vertical velocity. The reference signal is compared with a signal corresponding to the aircraft's actual angle of attack, thereby producing an error signal. The error signal is utilized as a control to the aircraft's dynamics for optimizing the aircraft's climb-out performance.
