Book Description
The deployment characteristics of a 1/8-size dynamically and elastically scaled model of an inflatable parawing suitable for the recovery of an Apollo-type spacecraft were investigated in free flight and in the Langley transonic dynamics tunnel using a model which was mounted to permit limited angular freedom. The deployments were of a passive type; that is, there was no powered reel-in or reel-out of the suspension lines. However, a braking system was used to attenuate the dynamic loads in the suspension lines. The deployment technique was developed in an initial series of wind-tunnel tests. By utilizing the equipment and technique evolved from the wind-tunnel studies, successful free-flight deployments were accomplished and the transient loads associated with the deployments were measured. These results were compared with the results of subsequent wind-tunnel tests.

Scientific and Technical Aerospace Reports
Flight Dynamics
Author: Robert F. Stengel
Publisher: Princeton University Press
ISBN: 1400866812
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 864
Book Description
Flight Dynamics takes a new approach to the science and mathematics of aircraft flight, unifying principles of aeronautics with contemporary systems analysis. While presenting traditional material that is critical to understanding aircraft motions, it does so in the context of modern computational tools and multivariable methods. Robert Stengel devotes particular attention to models and techniques that are appropriate for analysis, simulation, evaluation of flying qualities, and control system design. He establishes bridges to classical analysis and results, and explores new territory that was treated only inferentially in earlier books. This book combines a highly accessible style of presentation with contents that will appeal to graduate students and to professionals already familiar with basic flight dynamics. Dynamic analysis has changed dramatically in recent decades, with the introduction of powerful personal computers and scientific programming languages. Analysis programs have become so pervasive that it can be assumed that all students and practicing engineers working on aircraft flight dynamics have access to them. Therefore, this book presents the principles, derivations, and equations of flight dynamics with frequent reference to MATLAB functions and examples. By using common notation and not assuming a strong background in aeronautics, Flight Dynamics will engage a wide variety of readers. Introductions to aerodynamics, propulsion, structures, flying qualities, flight control, and the atmospheric and gravitational environment accompany the development of the aircraft's dynamic equations.
