Limited Qualities Evaluation of Longitudinal Flight Control Systems Designed Using Multiobjective Control Design Techniques (HAVE INFINITY II)

Abstract

This report presents the flight test results of the Project HAVE INFINITY II limited flight test. The objective of this limited flight test was to evaluate the six HAVE INFINITY II longitudinal flight control designs in support of an Air Force Institute of Technology (AFIT) Master's degree thesis. The thesis investigates the practicality of using modern multiobjective techniques for flight control system design. During the test program, 12 evaluation sorties, totaling 14.2 flight hours, were flown in a Calspan Variable Stability System (VSS) Learjet. Tests were conducted by the USAF Test Pilot School, Edwards AFB, California, from 29 September through 10 October 1997, at the request of the AFIT, Wright-Patterson AFB, Ohio.
