V/STOL Aircraft Design Sensitivity to Flying Qualities Criteria Study.

Abstract

This report covers the work accomplished during the first half of the Design Sensitivity to Flying Qualities Criteria contract. The work to date is divided into two areas. The first was the development of the design sensitivity results. Four aircraft were sized for typical VSTOL missions. Sensitivities were established for several parameters through which flying qualities criteria I requirements affect vehicle performance/design. These sensitivities are presented here in terms of vehicle size (TOGW) variation and mission degradation. The second area of activity was directed at the extension of a scaling procedure for dynamic analysis of hovering vehicles. This technique allows the designer to assess the effect of mass and size variations on vehicle dynamics.
