This book was released on 1969 with total page 54 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pilot rating scales and their use in assessing aircraft handling qualities are reviewed historically, and objections that have been raised to limitations of earlier scales are considered in the development of a revised scale. Terminology used in the evaluation of handling qualities is reviewed and new definitions are proposed to improve communication and international understanding. O f particular significance is the new definition of handling qualities, which emphasizes the importance of factors that influence the selection of a rating other than stability and control characteristics. The experimental use of pilot rating is discussed in detail, with special attention devoted to (l) clarifying the difference between mission and task, (2) identifying what the rating applies to, (3) considering the pilot's assessment criteria, and (4) defining the simulation situation. The important elements of the report are then summarized in a suggested Briefing Guide, designed for guidance in planning and executing handling qualities experiments.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Results of a combined analytical/flight test evaluation to investigate the effects of short period zero (T theta 2) on aircraft handling qualities are presented. Two optimal pilot models were used for the analytical portion. 1/T theta 2 was varied from 0.1 to 10 for each 4 different short period configurations. Flight testing was accomplished in the variable stability NT-33A aircraft, over a range of 1/T theta 2 values at one short period configuration. A pitch tracking task was used to generate RMS pitch errors for both the analytical and flight test phase. Cooper-Harper ratings were also collected during the flight test. Analytical results showed similar trends for all short period configurations, with pilot tracking task performance degrading at low 1/T theta 2 values. The bandwidth criterion was of limited use in predicting handling qualities levels based on T theta 2 variations alone. DC gain variations produced minimal differences in pilot performance. Overall evaluation results indicate that T theta 2 placement is an important factor in short period handling qualities and should be included in future revisions to MIL-F-8785C.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a single comprehensive resource that reviews many of the current aircraft flight control programmes from the perspective of experienced practitioners directly involved in the projects. Each chapter discusses a specific aircraft flight programme covering the control system design considerations, control law architecture, simulation and analysis, flight test optimization and handling qualities evaluations. The programmes described have widely exploited modern interdisciplinary tools and techniques and the discussions include extensive flight test results. Many important `lessons learned' are included from the experience gained when design methods and requirements were tested and optimized in actual flight demonstration.

Book excerpt: A synopsis of experience from the fixed-wing and rotary-wing aircraft communities in handling qualities development and the use of the Cooper-Harper pilot rating scale is presented as background for spacecraft handling qualities research, development, test, and evaluation (RDT&E). In addition, handling qualities experiences and lessons-learned from previous United States (US) spacecraft developments are reviewed.

This book was released on 1968 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although rating scales of varied forms have been widely used to estimate and evaluate handling qualities over the past decade, a number of deficiencies in both method and data base have been apparent. The investigation was aimed at overcoming many of these deficiencies by attempting to resolve the difficulties experienced with rating scales themselves, and by extending and adding to already existing relationships between ratings and pilot/vehicle system parameters. Rating scales have come under increasing criticism for problems such as wording ambiguity, the dual mission character of some scales, the nonuniformity in the distribution of descriptors across the scale, and the misuse of scales which has occurred when ratings have been averaged. Psychometric methods provide an approach to these problems, and were used to scale several phrases descriptive of vehicle handling qualities. Thus, quantitative characteristics were derived for contemporary scales through the use of the Method of Successive Intervals. An experiment was conducted which added to available data relating Cooper ratings and pilot/vehicle parameters, and which also tested some potential alternate scale candidates. The correlation results indicate that ratings are probably based on performance and the degree of difficulty experienced in maintaining the performance. The difficulty is most easily represented by the pilot equalization required and the vehicle stick characteristics. (Author).

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 A Limited Evaluation of Predicting Pilot Opinion of Aircraft Handling Qualities in the Landing Phase of Flight Using the Control Anticipation Parameter and Bandwidth Criteria HAVE CAP written by and published by . This book was released on 1996 with total page 255 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This technical report presents the results of a limited evaluation of predicting pilot opinion of aircraft handling qualities in the landing phase of flight using the control anticipation parameter (CAP) and bandwidth criteria. The objective of this flight-test was to evaluate the validity of predicting pilot opinion using the CAP and bandwidth criteria. The CAP was defined as in MIL-STD-1797A, Flying Qualities of Piloted Aircrafl. The bandwidth criterion used the current definition in MIL-STD- 1 797A along with a new dropback criterion. Actual pilot opinion was obtained by flying the Variable-Stability In-Flight Simulator Test Aircraft (VISTA) NF- 1 6D in the approach and landing phase of flight. Testing was requested by the Flight Dynamics Laboratory, Wright-Patterson AFB, Ohio, and was conducted under the authority of the Commandant, USAF Test Pilot School. The results of this test will be used to revise the short-term pitch response requirements in MIL-STD- 1 797B. This flight-test complemented research done by the Flight Dynamics Laboratory, Wright-Patterson AFB, Ohio (WL/FIGC), in predicting pilot opinion during the landing phase of flight.
