  • Patent number: 12181892
    Abstract: An aircraft position control system includes a processor configured to calculate a feedback manipulated variable of an aircraft by feedback control so that the aircraft heads toward a target landing point, based on at least a relative position and a relative velocity. The processor is further configured to set an addition value, by referring to a switching line preliminarily provided in a manner passing through an origin of a coordinate plane having orthogonal axes representing the relative position and the relative velocity and separating an acceleration region in which the relative velocity is to be increased and a deceleration region in which the relative velocity is to be decreased. The addition value tends to increase the relative velocity when a coordinate point of a current relative position and a current relative velocity is located in the acceleration region to calculate a manipulated variable of the aircraft.
