EFFECTS OF TYROSCOPIC CROSS COUPLING BETWEEN PITCH AND YAW ON THE HANDLING QUALITIES OF VTOL AIRCRAFT

Abstract

A visual flight investigation indicates the extent to which cross coupling affects handling qualities as a function of engine angular momentum, angular velocity about the yaw axis, and longitudinal control power. A theoretical examination, supplemented by simulator data, indicates the extent to which increased longitudinal damping improves the coupling controllability.
