F-111C Flight Dynamic Model Aerodynamic Data-Base Development and Verification

Abstract

A description is given of the process used to develop and verify the aerodynamic data-base of the F-111C flight dynamic computer model. The process uses stability and control derivatives obtained from flight trials performed at the RAAF's Aircraft Research and Development Unit (ARDU). Model response has been verified against aircraft time histories measured during the trials. The results presented compare the aircraft response in lateral manoeuvres, at various wing sweeps. A very good degree of matching is possible, although further investigation should correct inaccuracies which can cause poor estimation of yaw rate.
