The design of Envelope and Pilot-Induced Oscillation (PIO) Protection Features, and Failure Cases detection and prevention using Active Control Sidestick (ACS) is a challenging task. While helping the pilot to respect the envelope limitations also in failure scenarios and, therefore, increasing mission effectiveness, these features may have a significant impact on the aircraft's agility. ACS characteristics are investigated in an integrated environment. A set of effective and flexible control laws based on Incremental Nonlinear Dynamic Inversion have been developed in a state-of-the-art aircraft simulation model and coupled with a two-ways communication with the selected ACS. The model can run in real-time in a fixed-based simulator composed of representative cockpit and out-of-the-window.
