Identification of Minimum Acceptable Characteristics for Manual STOL Flight Path Control. Volume3. Detailed Analyses and Tested Vehicle Characteristics

Abstract

This report presents the detailed results and analysis procedures utilized to identify minimally acceptable flight path control characteristics of powered lift STOL airplanes. Deficiencies in flight path control are identified via closed loop analysis of describing function results obtained during the simulation. Unacceptable characteristics for flare and landing are identified from correlations of pilot rating and commentary with key parameters obtained from closed loop pilot-vehicle analysis. A more concise summary of the overall program and the results is contained in Volume I.
