Pilot modelling techniques for the analysis of aircraft linear dynamic behaviour
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 04 July 2016
Abstract
The evaluation of aircraft flying qualities has always required a high level of integration between airplane dynamic response and human operator properties. Today, the linear pilot-aircraft behaviour is a mature technology summarised by the publication of the military specifications MIL-STD-1797.
The present paper outlines the contribution of pilot modelling techniques to such endeavour and their use as a tool in the prediction of aircraft handling qualities characteristics by verifying their output in a Neal-Smith criterion framework. The objective is to complete the understanding of handling qualities in the linear part of the flight envelope (such as tracking) and to initiate work in the large amplitude manoeuvres. The results have produced an interactive computer aided software useful for pilot-in-the-loop analysis.
