A COMPILATION AND ANALYSIS OF TYPICAL APPROACH AND LANDING DATA FOR A SIMULATOR STUDY OF AN EXTERNALLY BLOWN FLAP STOL AIRCRAFT

摘要

A piloted simulation study has been made of typical landing approaches with an externally blown flap STOL aircraft to ascertain a realistic dispersion of parameter values at both the flare window and touchdown. The study was performed on a fixed-base simulator using standard cockpit instrumentation. Six levels of stability and control augmentation were tested during a total of 60 approaches (10 at each level). A detached supplement containing computer printouts of the flare-window and touchdown conditions for all 60 runs has been prepared and is available upon request from the Flight Dynamics and Control Division, Langley Research Center.
