Tailless Vectored Fighters Theory. Laboratory and Flight Tests, Including Vectorable Inlets/Nozzles and Tailless Flying Models vs. Pilot's Tolerances Affecting Maximum Post-Stall Vectoring Agility.

Abstract

Presenting the major problems confronting the development, tests and validation of Post-stall (PST) Thrust-Vectored Fighters (TVF), this project is based on the development of an integrated laboratory-flight testing methodology of PST-F-15-TVF/RPVs, including the tests of new types of yaw-pitch and roll-yaw-pitch thrust-vectoring nozzles and high-alpha, PST inlets. Mathematical phenomenology of PST-TVF has been added to define the methods required to maximize PST-TV agility and to measure it.
