Abstract
THE simplest type of aircraft power control is probably that shown in FIG. 1. The dynamics of this type of servo have been discussed in papers by Harpur and others, and it is shown that if the valve has cither zero or positive overlap the servo will be unstable with inertia loading. Harpur suggested the following methods of stabilizing the servo:
