An Analysis of the Stability and Control Characteristics of an Ejector Wing V/STOL During Transition

Pages : 212
Book Description
An analysis was performed to investigate the longitudinal stability and control characteristics of an ejector wing configuration V/STOL in transition. A derivative approach was used to obtain dynamic responses about specified trim speeds, and analysis of these responses provided an insight into the significant characteristics that might affect the pilot's control over the aircraft. The thrust levels necessary to meet the control requirements specified in MIL-F-83300 for a Level 1 category vehicle were determined as well. A similar study was made for a stowable rotor configuration, and results for the stowable rotor V/STOL and the ejector wing configuration were compared. Finally, the downwash characteristics of the ejector wing configuration were evaluated in terms of their effect on ground equipment and personnel. Spray generation during hover over water is also discussed.

Dynamics, Control, and Flying Qualities of V/STOL Aircraft
Author: James A. FranklinPublisher: AIAA (American Institute of Aeronautics & Astronautics)
ISBN:
Category : Mathematics
Languages : en
Pages : 240
Book Description
Annotation This text presents the principles of dynamics and control for vertical, short take-off landing (V/STOL) aircraft. It is the first book of its kind. It is intended for graduate students and professionals in aeronautics who have knowledge of linear systems analysis, aircraft static, dynamic stability, and control. The text begins with a discussion of V/STOL aircraft operations. Control strategies, equations of motion, longitudinal and lateral-directional flying qualities in both hover and forward flight, wind and turbulence responses, and control augmentation and cockpit displays are covered. Specific examples of the YAV-8B Harrier and XV-15 Tilt Rotor aircraft are used to illustrate actual V/STOL dynamic and control characteristics.
A Thesaurus of English Word Roots

Book Description
Horace G. Danner’s A Thesaurus of English Word Roots is a compendium of the most-used word roots of the English language. As Timothy B. Noone notes in his foreword: “Dr. Danner’s book allows you not only to build up your passive English vocabulary, resulting in word recognition knowledge, but also gives you the rudiments for developing your active English vocabulary, making it possible to infer the meaning of words with which you are not yet acquainted. Your knowledge can now expand and will do so exponentially as your awareness of the roots in English words and your corresponding ability to decode unfamiliar words grows apace. This is the beginning of a fine mental linguistic library: so enjoy!” In A Thesaurus of English Word Roots, all word roots are listed alphabetically, along with the Greek or Latin words from which they derive, together with the roots’ original meanings. If the current meaning of an individual root differs from the original meaning, that is listed in a separate column. In the examples column, the words which contain the root are then listed, starting with their prefixes, for example, dysacousia, hyperacousia. These root-starting terms then are followed by terms where the root falls behind the word, e.g., acouesthesia and acoumeter. These words are followed by words where the root falls in the middle or the end, as in such terms as bradyacusia and odynacusis.. In this manner, A Thesaurus of English Word Roots places the word in as many word families as there are elements in the word. This work will interest linguists and philologists and anyone interested in the etymological aspects of English language.
