A Comparison of the Neal-Smith and omega gamma function, zeta function and tau function Flying Qualities Criteria.

Abstract

Aircraft pitch response is a vital element of piloted vehicle flying qualities. There has been controversy over both the form and the substance of the requirements for short-term pitch response. Currently, MIL-STD- 1797A offers six different methods for evaluating short-term pitch response. These six methods often give conflicting results. Two methods are analyzed in this thesis - the Neal-Smith criteria and the wspT02,Csp,T0 criteria. Domains from both criteria are mapped into each other identifying regions of conflict and regions of agreement. Parametric studies are performed and evaluated for trends. Further, a real-time analysis tool for evaluating these methods is developed.
