A PRELIMINARY ANALYSIS OF THE XV-4B VTOL AIRCRAFT COMPUTER SIMULATION.

Abstract

This study was a preliminary analysis to determine the effect upon stability and control of the XV-4B VTOL aircraft, due to a variation of aerodynamic derivatives. Some information is presented on a hybrid computer system which was used. A pitching moment analysis was made with an elevator step input. A lateral-directional analysis was made with a rudder and aileron impulse. Variations were made for four different flight conditions. The aircraft was trimmed at each flight condition and a nominal run was recorded. Then each derivative was varied, one at a time, and the results recorded. (Author)
