This book was released on 1965 with total page 49 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The results of a flight research program to evaluate the effects of certain lateral-directional handling qualities are reported and discussed. The evaluation program was designed to assess the acceptability of variations in Dutch roll dynamics and aileron-yaw coupling for the low speed landing approach task. The effects of a reduction in static directional stability on the high Mach number cruise task were also evaluated. A variable stability T-33 was used for conducting these evaluations. Thirty-three different sets of low speed, and fifteen different sets of high speed lateral-directional handling qualities were evaluated by an experimental test pilot. The evaluation pilot comments and a numerical rating were given for each configuration as to its suitability for the mission or task involved. Identification of the stability parameters from in-flight records was made using airplane rudder doublet responses and the Equations-of-motion Technique. An analysis was made of the pilot ratings and pilot comments, and these in turn were correlated with the lateral-directional stability parameters measured. (Author).

This book was released on 1970 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An investigation to determine the ranges of various lateral directional characteristics required to provide adequate flying qualities for turning maneuvers at low speed was undertaken using an airborne V/STOL aircraft simulator. Five parameters were varied in a systematic manner: the damping ratio, the frequency, and the ratio and the frequency of the numerator of the roll-angle to aileron-control-input transfer function. The pilots performed a low speed, visual maneuvering task and documented their assessment of the characteristics through extensive comments and a numerical rating. The report presents all the data categorized with respect to the test parameters. (Author).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report is a codification in two parts of conventional aircraft handling qualities criteria. The results of this effort are to serve as an intermediate design guide in the areas of lateral-directional oscillatory and roll control. The roll handling qualities portion of this report uses as a point of departure the concept that control of bank angle is the primary piloting task in maintaining or changing heading. In the lateral oscillatory portion of this effort, in defining requirements for satisfactory Dutch roll characteristics, a fundamental consideration is the fact that the motions characterizing this mode are ordinarily not the pilot's chief objective. That is, he is not deliberately inducing Dutch roll motions in the sense that he induces rolling and longitudinal short-period motions. A worthwhile approach to establishment of Dutch roll damping requirements is to first establish the basic level, and then to study the varied influences of the disturbance parameters. This approach provides the basis for the material contained in this report.

Download or read book Closed-Loop System Identification Experience for Flight Control Law and Flying Qualities Evaluation of a High Performance Fighter Aircraft written by National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2018-08-16 with total page 30 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper highlights some of the results and issues associated with estimating models to evaluate control law design methods and design criteria for advanced high performance aircraft. Experimental fighter aircraft such as the NASA-High Alpha Research Vehicle (HARV) have the capability to maneuver at very high angles of attack where nonlinear aerodynamics often predominate. HARV is an experimental F/A-18, configured with thrust vectoring and conformal actuated nose strakes. Identifying closed-loop models for this type of aircraft can be made difficult by nonlinearities and high order characteristics of the system. In this paper, only lateral-directional axes are considered since the lateral-directional control law was specifically designed to produce classical airplane responses normally expected with low-order, rigid-body systems. Evaluation of the control design methodology was made using low-order equivalent systems determined from flight and simulation. This allowed comparison of the closed-loop rigid-body dynamics achieved in flight with that designed in simulation. In flight, the On Board Excitation System was used to apply optimal inputs to lateral stick and pedals at five angles at attack : 5, 20, 30, 45, and 60 degrees. Data analysis and closed-loop model identification were done using frequency domain maximum likelihood. The structure of identified models was a linear state-space model reflecting classical 4th-order airplane dynamics. Input time delays associated with the high-order controller and aircraft system were accounted for in data preprocessing. A comparison of flight estimated models with small perturbation linear design models highlighted nonlinearities in the system and indicated that the closed-loop rigid-body dynamics were sensitive to input amplitudes at 20 and 30 degrees angle of attack.

Book Synopsis An Analysis of Lateral-Directional Handling Qualities and Eigenstructure of High Performance Aircraft by : Michael J. Costigan
Download or read book An Analysis of Lateral-Directional Handling Qualities and Eigenstructure of High Performance Aircraft written by Michael J. Costigan and published by . This book was released on 1988 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis examines the relationship between an aircraft's lateral-directional handling qualities and its corresponding eigenstructure. Intuition and simple methematical models were used to develop desirable eigenvectors. For conventional aircraft, the dutch roll eigenvector was shown to a function of the roll to sideslip (phi/beta) ratio. Flight control laws to produce the desired eigenstructures were derived using eigenstructure assignment with output feedback. The control laws were based on a twelfth order linear model of the lateral-directional dynamics of the YA-7D DIGITAC, and varied the dutch roll phi/beta ratio. The handling qualities of the YA-7D were examined. The flight testing consisted of both open loop tasks, and closed loop tasks in which Cooper-Harper ratings were assigned.

Download or read book Fixed-base and In-flight Simulations of Longitudinal and Lateral-directional Handling Qualities for Piloted Re-entry Vehicles written by Edwin A. Kidd and published by . This book was released on 1964 with total page 122 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Longitudinal and lateral directional flying qualities for the re-entry mission are reported. The program utilized primarily a high-fidelity fixed-base ground simulator with evaluations made by three pilots. One of the three pilots also made in-flight evaluations of longitudinal flying qualities in the same vehicle, a threeaxis variable stability airplane flown with a two-axis side controller and conventional rubber pedals. Control sensitivity evaluations were compared to center stick results of earlier work. The longitudinal flying qualities as evaluated both on the ground simulator and in flight are compared and related to earlier investigations. Pilot rating variability, both interpilot and intrapilot, are quantized and discussed for the ground and flight experiments. Performance measures are reported.

This book was released on 1967 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Three different groups of lateral-directional flight characteristics were investigated and the results are presented in three parts. Part I evaluation configurations were selected from a previous re-entry vehicle evaluation program; Part II configurations were based on a general lateral-directional handling qualities investigation; and Part III configurations were directly applicable to lifting body investigations. All of the configurations were evaluated for their suitability to the re-entry mission. The vehicle used for both the fixed-base and in-flight simulations was a three-axis variable stability T-33 airplane. (Author).

Download or read book A Study of Conventional Airplane Handling Qualities Requirements written by I. L. Ashkenas and published by . This book was released on 1965 with total page 86 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The report uses as a point of departure the concept that control of bank angle is the primary piloting task in maintaining or changing heading. Regulation of the bank angle to maintain heading is a close-loop tracking task in which the pilot applies aileron control as a function of observed bank angle error. For large heading changes, the steady-state bank angle consistent with available or desired load factor is attained in an open-loop fashion; it is then regulated in a closed-loop fashion throughout the remainder of the turn. For the transient entry and exit from the turn, the pilot is not concerned with bank angle per se, but rather with attaining a mentally commanded bank angle with tolerable accuracy in a reasonable time, and with an easily learned and comfortable program of aileron movements.

Book Synopsis Flight Evaluation of the Transonic Stability and Control Characteristics of an Airplane Incorporating a Supercritical Wing by : Neil W. Matheny
Download or read book Flight Evaluation of the Transonic Stability and Control Characteristics of an Airplane Incorporating a Supercritical Wing written by Neil W. Matheny and published by . This book was released on 1978 with total page 68 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A TF-8A airplane was equipped with a transport type supercritical wing and fuselage fairings to evaluate predicted performance improvements for cruise at transonic speeds. A comparison of aerodynamic derivatives extracted from flight and wind tunnel data showed that static longitudinal stability, effective dihedral, and aileron effectiveness, were higher than predicted. The static directional stability derivative was slower than predicted. The airplane's handling qualities were acceptable with the stability augmentation system on. The unaugmented airplane exhibited some adverse lateral directional characteristics that involved low Dutch roll damping and low roll control power at high angles of attack and roll control power that was greater than satisfactory for transport aircraft at cruise conditions. Longitudinally, the aircraft exhibited a mild pitchup tendency. Leading edge vortex generators delayed the onset of flow separation, moving the pitchup point to a higher lift coefficient and reducing its severity.
