A STUDY OF THE EFFECTS OF CL-COUPLING ON THE LATERAL STABILITY OF AIRCRAFT IN ATMOSPHERIC TURBULENCE.
Abstract
The effect of a C sub L-coupling phenomenon on aircraft lateral stability is studied by means of an analog simulation of flight through atmospheric turbulence. No instability is observed in control-fixed flight, and the increase in gust response which results from the coupling effect is found to be effectively reduced by introducing synthetic roll stiffness. Correlated side and vertical gust components are considered, as well as an equilibrium side-slip condition. Both high-aspect-ratio swept-wing and slender delta-wing jet transports are examined.
