EFFECTS OF CONTROL-FEEL CONFIGURATION ON AIRPLANE LONGITUDINAL CONTROL RESPONSE

Abstract

A control-feel system, which was adjustable in flight, provided control feel as a function of any combination of stick deflection, stick rate, airplane normal acceleration, pitching acceleration, and pitching velocity. The dynamic effects of using varied feel sources in various ratios were measured and/or calculated. Frequency-response plots are presented to illustrate the dynamic effects of feel from the several sources and combinations thereof. The investigation was conducted at a Mach number of 0.85 and an altitude of 28,000 feet. (Author)
