Air superiority is a crucial thing when it comes to modern defense and conventional war, because it enables one side to optimize its military operation and inhibit the enemy’s operation at the same time, whether it’s on the ground or at the sea. This enhance the development of multirole fighters, which one of its properties is high maneuverability. On the other hand, this aerodynamically unstable design requires advanced flight control system which makes the development of flight control system a highly important matter. <br /> <br /> <br /> In this thesis, the model of a fighter aircraft’s flight dynamics and the model of disturbing forces and moments caused by the missile launching are built and simulated on the open-loop system. Furthermore, same processes are operated on two different closed-loop systems, which are the aircraft equipped with Stability Augmentation System and aircraft equipped with Stability Augmentation System, Basic Autopilot System, and Flight Path Control System. The results show that these closed-loop systems successfully improve the response of the aircraft after launching a missile.
