This thesis is a continuation of a series of studies on automatic
throttle compensation systems begun in 1963 by Lieutenant Commander
G. R, Bell. £l] Previous investigations have been concerned with flight
in a wings level attitude. This study will consider the effects of turning
flight on the system. The system under consideration here is the Specialties,
Incorporated, Automatic Power Compensator, (APC), an automatic
throttle in use in the F-8 and F-4 aircraft. It utilizes feedbacks of angle
of attack and normal acceleration. It was found important to differentiate
between spurious perturbations and those perturbations from steady state
introduced due to the aircraft entering a turn. This study was conducted by Lieutenant Richard D. Hartman at the
United States Naval Postgraduate School, Monterey, California. The
assistance given by Professor E. J. Andrews is greatly appreciated by
the writer.
