STATE OF THE ART FOR V/STOL CONTROL DISPLAY.

Abstract

A survey was conducted to establish the 'state-of-the-art' in V/STOL control-display development and application. Visitations were made to fifteen United States firms and government agencies actively engaged in V/STOL development and data correlated with reported European V/STOL development. Most research activity to date has been concerned with propulsion feasibility and aircraft aerodynamic characteristics with little emphasis on control-display sub-systems analysis. Some V/STOL simulation has been conducted, primarily in the areas of altitude control during the hover phase. Areas requiring intensive control-display analysis to fully utilize the unique V/STOL capabilities include: engine instrumentation, low air speed sensing and display, wing stall condition and angle of attack during transition phases, visibility requirements, and terminal guidance requirements.
