A trajectory control improvement approach is presented which is based on nonlinear dynamic inversion. Reference is made to a physical interpretation of the point mass dynamics of the aircraft. As a result, it is possible to implement effective envelope protections and to develop a physically motivated resolution of control conflicts.
