Aircraft Motion Sensitivity to Cross and Cross-Coupling Damping Derivatives

Abstract

An investigation was conducted to provide some insight into the importance of dynamic cross and cross-coupling derivatives in motion simulation studies of fighter aircraft in the maneuvering flight regime. The aircraft motion sensitivity to the various derivatives is ascertained in level and turning flight utilizing a 5 deg of freedom linearized stability program. The results are presented in a root locus format.
