The Effect of Roll Rate on Air Combat.
Abstract
A study was made to determine the effects of roll rate on air combat. The effects of increased roll rate responses were analyzed by comparing various performance parameters at specific times during three maneuvers: the high speed yo-yo, the high speed barrel roll, and the low speed barrel roll. The parameters compared were: (1) the range between an attacking and defending aircraft; (2) the difference in specific energy between an attacking and defending aircraft; and (3) the velocity difference between the attacker and defender.
