An onboard optimization approach is used to generate trajectories for Radius to Fix (RF) turns within an integrated flight guidance and control system. An Optimal Control Problem is formulated such that it accounts for the geometric constraints of the RF as well as the dynamic and limitations of the closed-loop controlled aircraft. The result of the optimization algorithm is verified online.
