1. A computer program product for controlling a plurality of control effectors of an aerodynamic vehicle having a plurality of states, the computer program product comprising a computer-readable storage medium having computer-readable program code embodied in said medium, the computer-readable program code comprising:

  • a first executable portion adapted to determine a current commanded state of the plurality of control effectors including the current commanded states of nozzle vectoring and at least one aerodynamic surface;

    a second executable portion adapted to determine differences between anticipated changes in the plurality of states of the aerodynamic vehicle based upon the current commanded state of the plurality of control effectors and desired changes in the plurality of states of the aerodynamic vehicle; and

    a third executable portion adapted to control the plurality of control effectors at least partially based upon the differences in order to implement at least a portion of the desired changes in the plurality of states of the aerodynamic vehicle.
