Customizing aircraft performance systems and methods

Abstract:

Systems and methods are described for changing the performance of an aircraft by customizing aircraft control system parameters based on a subjective personal preference of a pilot. The system includes a user interface for receiving the customized aircraft control system parameters from the pilot. A first aircraft control module may receive the customized aircraft control system parameters from the user interface, and also receive flight control commands from the pilot. The received flight control commands and the received customized aircraft control system parameters may be processed by the first aircraft control module to cause the aircraft to perform according to customized characteristics as determined by the pilot.
