Abstract

An aircraft control system for an unmanned aircraft comprising a forward propulsion system comprising a forward thrust engine and a vertical propulsion system comprising a vertical thrust engine. The aircraft control system may include a controller comprising an input coupled to receive a velocity signal indicating a determined amount of forward velocity and being configured to generate a pitch angle command associated with the determined amount of forward velocity; a splitting block comprising an input to receive the pitch angle command and being configured to generate a second pitch angle command and a forward thrust engine throttle command based on a bounded pitch angle for the unmanned aircraft; and an output coupled to provide the second pitch angle command to the vertical propulsion system and the forward thrust engine throttle command to the forward propulsion system.
