An Investigation of Open Loop Flight Control Equations of Motion Used to Predict Flight Control Surface Deflections at Non-Steady State Trim Conditions (Project HAVE TRIM)

Abstract

This report presents the results of Project HAVE TRIM, An Investigation of Open Loop Flight Control Equations of Motion Used To Predict Flight Control Surface Deflections at Non-Steady State Trim Conditions. The overall test objective was to validate the HAVE TRIM model through comparison of predicted control surface deflections with flight test measured control surface deflections at specified trimmed conditions. The USAF Test Pilot School, Class 03A, conducted 10 flights totaling 18.5 hours at Edwards AFB CA from 8 Oct to 17 Oct 03. All test objectives were met.
