In the field of helicopter flight control and handling qualities, the potential benefits offered by Active Control Technology are considerable. To support the development of appropriate handling criteria and carefree manoeuvring features, the UK Royal Aerospace Establishment has been engaged in the development of an ACT system for a research Lynx. As currently envisaged the system includes full authority fly by wire actuation and fail-operate I failsafe hardware architecture. The impact of the required functionality on the system requirements dictated a need for a precise yet versatile specification of the system, and Jackson System Development (JSD) was selected as a design method since it provides a fonnal modelling of the pilot interface, and also operates at a sufficient level of detail necessary to ensure completeness and resolution of ambiguities. The tools which support JSD include automatic code generation, were further developed to accommodate changes to system architecture in an efficient manner. The code produced provides a direct simulation of the design and results in a living specification available for validation and behavioural investigations of the written specification.
