Predictive controllers are often only applicable for open‐loop stable systems. In this paper two such controllers are designed to operate on open‐loop critically stable systems, each of which is used to find the control inputs for the roll control autopilot of a jet fighter aircraft. It is shown how it is quite possible for good predictive control to be achieved on open‐loop critically stable systems.
