This book was released on 1971 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The program develops a practical design procedure for aircraft augmentation systems based on quadratic optimal control technology and handling-quality-oriented cost functionals. The procedure is applied to the design of a lateral-directional control system for the F4C aircraft. The design criteria, design procedure, and final control system are validated with a program of formal pilot evaluation experiments. These use 5 x 2 x 3 mixed-design analysis of variance. A reformulated optimal model-following control problem is used as the cornerstone for the procedure. Design criteria are expressed as model differential equations satisfying available handling-quality data. The reformulation includes optimality over multiple flight conditions and constant gain and measurement realizability constraints. A computational algorithm is developed to solve the new optimization problem. The algorithm successfully handled 20th-order F4C lateral-axes dynamics and optimized five flight conditions simultaneously. The results of the validation experiments were fully positive with strong correlation between performance and pilot opinion data. (Author).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Proceedings are reported of a symposium held in Dayton, sponsored by the Flight Dynamics Laboratory during 2-5 March 1982. The symposium was planned and ran by the Flight Control Division, specifically the Flying Qualities Group and the Control Techniques Group as part of an ongoing effort to revise and upgrade both MIL-F-8785C, Military Specification, Flying Qualities of Piloted Airplanes, and MIL-F-9490D, Flight Control System-Design, Installation and Test of Piloted Aircraft, General Specification For. Specialists from both the flying qualities and flight control system disciplines were gathered in Dayton from both industry and government agencies. Formal and informal presentations, plus workshop discussions, were structured around proposed draft versions of the new Flying Qualities MIL-Standard and Handbook and the new Flight Control Systems MIL-Specification and Handbook. This report contains a record of the presentations and discussions as submitted by the individual authors.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A study was conducted to design an experimental flight test program for the Total In-Flight Simulator CTIFS) directed toward the interface between flying qualities requirements and flight control system design criteria. The eventual goal is to provide an interpretation or translation of flying qualities requirements for use by the flight control system designer. Specifically, an angle of attack and pitch rate command system matrix involving both short term and long term dynamics are specified for evaluation. A major objective of the research was to demonstrate that flying qualities criteria and flight control system configuration or architecture can be independent. Finally, additional configurations are proposed to evaluate the efficacy of dynamic decoupling.

This book was released on 2013-04-18 with total page 151 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In-fl ight simulation experiments performed in 1967 with a variable-stabil ity aircraft during the author's stay at Princeton University, motivated the study of handl ing characteristics of future transport aircraft with closed-loop fl ight control systems. In 1972, the first experiment took place at the National Aerospace Laboratory NLR, using one of its research aircraft. In anticipation of expected developments in (digital) fl ight control technology, the research programme following the first experiments was aimed at the establ ishment of quantitative handl ing qual ities criteria. An appreciable part of that programme has been sponsored by the Netherlands Agency for Aerospace Programs (Nederlands Instituut voor VI iegtuigontwikkel ing en Ruimtevaart) and the Department of Civil Aviation of the Netherlands (Rijksluchtvaartdienst). In 1981, a thorough review of the extensive and valuable data gathered was started. The result, presented in this book, was also included in the author's thesis for a Ph.D. degree of the Delft University of Technology. To introduce the reader to the multi-discipl inary field of handl ing qual ities research, introductory chapters are presented on longitudinal aircraft dynamics, closed-loop fl ight control systems using non-mechanical signal transmission, human pilot dynamics, hand I ing qual ities assessment techniques, and the present status of handl ing qual ity criteria.

Download or read book Ride Quality Design Criteria for Aircraft with Active Mode Control Systems written by John W. Rustenburg and published by . This book was released on 1972 with total page 48 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ride quality is becoming an important area of concern in the acceptability of an aircraft. This has led to considering the use of active structural mode control systems on present and future aircraft to obtain acceptable ride quality. Although ride quality criteria are available, these criteria have not included considerations of mode control system effects and performance. This report extends the suggested criteria of a previous report to include the effects of an active structural mode control system. It is shown how the criteria as applied to separate vertical and lateral systems may be used in the design of a single system which controls both the vertical and lateral axes simultaneously.
