“…In addition, the requirement to operate at high angles of attack can necessitate scheduling on rapidly varying quantities such as the instantaneous incidence angle (rather than, for example, conventional flap scheduling on averaged incidence, McLean, 1990, p. 523). It should be noted that scheduling on instantaneous incidence is wellknown to be problematical and is almost always avoided in classical scheduling arrangements (see, for example, Leith & Leithead, 2000b). Specifically, in the example considered in this paper, a conventional gain-scheduling design approach fails to lead to a stabilising controller.…”
