Abstract
Two methods of combining multiple response types into a single flexible command model are provided and include receiving a pilot stick input, generating an aircraft response to the pilot stick input that is a continuous blend of response types by including calculable time-varying coefficients set as a function of a magnitude of the pilot stick input and other aircraft states such as airspeed, imposing at least an angular acceleration command limit and using other non-linear elements to optimize the aircraft response to the pilot stick input.
