Abstract
When both engines operate properly, a control apparatus for an aircraft performs control of thrust and attitude of an aircraft using an output that is produced evenly by the two engines. When a failure occurs in one of the two engines, the control apparatus performs the control of thrust and attitude of the aircraft by increasing an output of the remaining engine that operates properly to an emergency output. When the failure occurs in one of the two engines, the control apparatus makes an engine output that is used for the control of thrust and attitude of the aircraft lower than an engine output that is used when both engines operate properly, until the remaining engine that operates properly is enabled to produce the emergency output.
