Experimental Testing of Flying Qualities Theories.

Abstract

An analog computer simulation was used to model the roll dynamics of the generic aircraft which had been evaluated on the variable stability NT-33A aircraft. Sum of sine waves and random step functions were used as the two different command signals. The purpose of this study was to determine what effect the nature of the command signal had on the pilot rating of the task simulation. (Author)
