ANALYSIS AND MOVING BASE SIMULATION OF TRANSITION CONFIGURATION MANAGEMENT ASPECTS OF A POWERED LIFT AIRCRAFT

摘要

This is the subject of the present report. Other reports (Refs. 1 and 2) cover those study phases devoted to improved flight directors and to the application of both FCS improvements and flight directors suitable for use in STOL approaches involving decelerating, descending, curved paths.nAt the time the project was initiated, there was relatively lit! .e experi-ence with detailed flight control problems and procedures for the Augmentor Wing aircraft. It was being flown on the Ames Research Center Flight Simulator for Advanced Aircraft (PSAA) in a "first-flight" configuration embodying the best available aerodynamic data and a minimum (funds-limited) contractor-designed stability augmentation system (SAS).
