RIDE QUALITIES CRITERIA VALIDATION/PILOT PERFORMANCE STUDY - FLIGHT SIMULATOR RESULTS

摘要

A research-program was conducted to study pilot performance during simulated manual terrain following, flight for ride quality criteria {validation. An existing B-l simulation program provided the data for these investigations.nThe B-l simulation program included terrain following flights under varying controlled conditions of turbulence, terrain, mission length, and system dynamics. The flight simulator consisted of moving base cockpit which-reproduced motions due to turbulence and control inputs. The B-l aircraft dynamics were programmed with six-degrees-of-freedom equations of motion with three symmetric and two ant symmetric structural degrees of freedom.
