Book Description
The advantages and disadvantages of using thrust vectoring for lateral-directional control and the effects of reducing the tail size of a single-engine aircraft were investigated. The aerodynamic characteristics of the F-16 aircraft were generated by using the Aerodynamic Preliminary Analysis System II panel code. The resulting lateral-directional linear perturbation analysis of a modified F-16 aircraft with various tail sizes and yaw vectoring was performed at several speeds and altitudes to determine the stability and control trends for the aircraft compared to these trends for a baseline aircraft. A study of the paddle-type turning vane thrust vectoring control system as used on the National Aeronautics and Space Administration F/A-18 High Alpha Research Vehicle is also presented.

Vectored Propulsion, Supermaneuverability and Robot Aircraft
Author: Benjamin Gal-Or
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 1461389615
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 277
Book Description
This book is designed to fill a professional vacuum in the new field of advance, high-angle, vectored stealth aircraft. The subject matter presented in the volume has never before been investigated and presented as a unified field of study because it covers entirely new fields and because specialized fragments of this unified field are scattered throughout literature in specific problems. The book is of interest to aeronautical and mechanical engineers, electrical and control engineers, aerospace industry, USAF, US Navy, NASA, pilots and instructors.

Flight-Determined, Subsonic, Lateral-Directional Stability and Control Derivatives of the Thrust-Vectoring F-18 High Angle of Attack Research Vehicle (Harv), and Comparisons to the Basic F-18 and Predicted Derivatives

Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 90
Book Description
The subsonic, lateral-directional, stability and control derivatives of the thrust-vectoring F-1 8 High Angle of Attack Research Vehicle (HARV) are extracted from flight data using a maximum likelihood parameter identification technique. State noise is accounted for in the identification formulation and is used to model the uncommanded forcing functions caused by unsteady aerodynamics. Preprogrammed maneuvers provided independent control surface inputs, eliminating problems of identifiability related to correlations between the aircraft controls and states. The HARV derivatives are plotted as functions of angles of attack between 10deg and 70deg and compared to flight estimates from the basic F-18 aircraft and to predictions from ground and wind tunnel tests. Unlike maneuvers of the basic F-18 aircraft, the HARV maneuvers were very precise and repeatable, resulting in tightly clustered estimates with small uncertainty levels. Significant differences were found between flight and prediction; however, some of these differences may be attributed to differences in the range of sideslip or input amplitude over which a given derivative was evaluated, and to differences between the HARV external configuration and that of the basic F-18 aircraft, upon which most of the prediction was based. Some HARV derivative fairings have been adjusted using basic F-18 derivatives (with low uncertainties) to help account for differences in variable ranges and the lack of HARV maneuvers at certain angles of attack.Iliff, Kenneth W. and Wang, Kon-Sheng CharlesArmstrong Flight Research CenterF-18 AIRCRAFT; ANGLE OF ATTACK; MAXIMUM LIKELIHOOD ESTIMATES; DIRECTIONAL STABILITY; CONTROL SURFACES; AIRCRAFT CONTROL; WIND TUNNEL TESTS; PARAMETER IDENTIFICATION; LATERAL STABILITY
